TELEMETRY PIPELINE
Fleets

Fleets

Fleets in Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline let you manage all of your Core Agent and Fluent Bit (opens in a new tab) deployments from a single, centralized location. By grouping multiple deployments under the banner of a unified fleet, you can perform batch operations across an entire fleet, instead of individually configuring dozens or hundreds of telemetry agents.

Some of the benefits of using fleets in Telemetry Pipeline are:

  • Fleets streamline the process of managing telemetry agents deployed in different locations, machines, or environments.
  • Because all agents within a fleet share the same configuration settings, you can maintain consistent behavior between a large number of agents and roll out changes accordingly.
  • Updates are pulled from an HTTP endpoint rather than pushed directly to each agent, which gives you more control over your fleet's network settings and eliminates the need to open a hole in your firewall.
