You can use Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline to collect, transform, and route
telemetry data.

  accTitle: Pipeline data flow
  accDescr: A diagram of a telemetry pipeline. Data originates from one or more source plugins (and each plugin can have an attached parser), then passes through processing rules, then continues to one or more destination plugins.

When you [create a pipeline](/ingest/pipeline/v2/build/create-modify), you must include at
least one [source plugin](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/source-plugins) and at least
one [destination plugin](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/destination-plugins). You also
have the option to add [parsers](/ingest/pipeline/v2/build/parsers) and [processing rules](/ingest/pipeline/processing-rules)
that transform the data passing through your pipeline.
