BindPlane Agent

Action Status Action Test Status Go Report Card License

The BindPlane Agent is observIQ’s distribution of the OpenTelemetry collector. It’s the first distribution to implement the Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) and is designed to be fully managed with BindPlane OP. To get started, follow our Quickstart Guide.

Benefits

Focused on usability

Increases the accessibility of OpenTelemetry by providing simplified installation scripts, tested example configurations, and end-to-end documentation making it easy to get started

All the best parts of OpenTelemetry and more

Bundled with all core OpenTelemetry receivers, processors, and exporters as well as additional capabilities for monitoring complex or enterprise technologies not yet available in upstream releases

Always Production-ready and fully-supported

Tested, verified, and supported by observIQ

Quick Start

Installation

Linux

To install using the installation script, you may run:

sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_unix.sh)" install_unix.sh

To install directly with the appropriate package manager, see installing on Linux.

Windows

To install the BindPlane Agent on Windows run the Powershell command below to install the MSI with no UI.

msiexec /i "https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/observiq-otel-collector.msi" /quiet

Alternately, for an interactive installation download the latest MSI.

After downloading the MSI, simply double click it to open the installation wizard. Follow the instructions to configure and install the agent.

For more installation information see installing on Windows.

macOS

To install using the installation script, you may run:

sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSlL https://github.com/observiq/bindplane-agent/releases/latest/download/install_macos.sh)" install_macos.sh

For more installation information see installing on macOS.

Next Steps

Now that the agent is installed it is collecting basic metrics about the host machine printing them to the log. If you want to further configure your agent you may do so by editing the config file. To find your config file based on your OS reference the table below:

OS Default Location
Linux /opt/observiq-otel-collector/config.yaml
Windows C:\Program Files\observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector\config.yaml
macOS /opt/observiq-otel-collector/config.yaml

For more information on configuration see the Configuration section.

Configuration

The BindPlane Agent uses OpenTelemetry configuration.

For sample configs, see the config directory. For general configuration help, see the OpenTelemetry docs.

For configuration options of a specific component, take a look at the README found in their respective module roots. For a list of currently supported components see Included Components.

For a list of possible command line arguments to use with the agent, run the agent with the --help argument.

Included Components

Receivers

For supported receivers and their documentation see receivers.

Processors

For supported processors and their documentation see processors.

Exporters

For supported exporters and their documentation see exporters.

Extensions

For supported extensions and their documentation see extensions.

Connectors

For supported connectors and their documentation see connectors.

Example

Here is an example config.yaml setup for hostmetrics on Google Cloud. To make sure your environment is set up with required prerequisites, see our Google Cloud Exporter Prerequisites page. Further details for this GCP example can be found here.

# Receivers collect metrics from a source. The hostmetrics receiver will get
# CPU load metrics about the machine the agent is running on every minute.
receivers:
  hostmetrics:
    collection_interval: 60s
    scrapers:
      cpu:
      disk:
      load:
      filesystem:
      memory:
      network:
      paging:
      processes:

# Exporters send the data to a destination, in this case GCP.
exporters: 
  googlecloud:

# Service specifies how to construct the data pipelines using the configurations above.
service:
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [hostmetrics]
      exporters: [googlecloud]
