Navigate the Telemetry Pipeline web interface

After you've installed Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline, you can navigate the Telemetry Pipeline web interface (opens in a new tab) to access a variety of tools and features.

Home

The Telemetry Pipeline home page includes quick links to common pages and several embedded video tutorials.

Core Instances

This page lists the Core Instances that you've deployed and displays information about each, including:

• Core Instance: The name of that Core Instance.
• Status: The status of that Core Instance.
• Pipelines Count: The number of pipelines within that Core Instance.
• Version: The version of the Core Operator powering that Core Instance.
• Last Modification: The date and time of the most recent changes to that Core Instance.

You can click  Add new instance to create a new pipeline.

To view more information about a specific Core Instance, modify that Core Instance, or view or modify any of its pipelines, click the name of that Core Instance. This opens the Core Instance details page.

Core Instance details

This page displays information about a specific Core Instance, including its name, tags, version, information about its Kubernetes environment, and any associated pipelines.

Click Edit to modify the Core Instance's name and tags, or click Advanced Settings to manage files and secrets.

In the Kubernetes Namespaces section, you can enable automated Kubernetes logging.

The Data Pipelines section lists the pipelines within that Core Instance and displays information about each, including:

• Pipeline Name: The name of that pipeline.
• Status: The status of that pipeline.
• Version: The version of the pipeline agent powering that pipeline.
• Uptime: How long that pipeline has been running.
• Last Modification: The date and time of the most recent changes to that pipeline.

You can also click  Add New to create a new pipeline.

To view more information about a specific pipeline or it modify its settings, click the name of that pipeline. This opens the pipeline details page.

Pipeline details

This page displays information about a specific pipeline, including its active sources, destination, and endpoints.

Click Edit to open the pipeline builder, where you can add and configure source plugins, destination plugins, and processing rules for that pipeline.

Click Advanced Settings to manage that pipeline's replicas, deployment strategy, files, and secrets.

Under Pipeline Output, click Get Latest Logs to view logs generated by that pipeline, including status changes and error messages. If your pipeline has the Standard output destination plugin, the telemetry data routed through your pipeline will also print here.

Monitoring

This page displays information about the performance and throughput of your Core Instances and pipelines.

Fleets

This page lists the fleets that you've deployed and displays information about each, including:

• Fleet Name: The name of that fleet.
• Agent Type: The type of agent that makes up that fleet.
• Managed Agents: The number of agents within that fleet.
• Last Edit: The date and time of the most recent changes to that fleet.

You can click  Create new fleet to create a new fleet.

To view more information about a specific fleet, modify that fleet, or view details about its associated agents, click the name of that fleet. This opens the fleet details page.

Fleet details

This page displays information about a specific fleet, including its name, configuration settings, attached files, and any associated agents.

The Agents List section lists the agents within that fleet and displays information about each, including:

• Host Name: The name of the machine where that agent is deployed.
• Status: The status of that agent.
• Version: The version of the Fluent Bit or Core Agent for that agent.
• Platform: The operating system where the agent is deployed.
• Architecture: The architecture of the environment where the agent is deployed.
• Last Edit: The date and time of the most recent changes to that agent.

You can click  Attach New File to add a file to that fleet, or  Add Agent to add a new agent.

Parser playground

The parser playground lets you preview the effect of parsers on your telemetry data. The Examples column includes several of the default parsers included with Telemetry Pipeline, and you can test your own custom parsers by pasting any string into the Regular Expression field.

To preview the result of a specified parser, either enter raw log data into the Enter Your Test String field or use the pre-populated data, then click Parse. The Output pane displays the resulting structured data.

After you've created and testing a custom parser in the parser playground, you can add that parser to a parsers.conf file.

Pipeline builder playground

The pipeline builder playground lets you construct pipelines in a sandbox environment. You can use this tool to configure source plugins, destination plugins, and processing rules, and then preview the resulting pipeline. The Advanced Settings section also generates a YAML configuration file from your choices.

This tool is functionally identical to the pipeline builder for real production environments, but any plugins or processing rules you configure here won't go into effect and won't affect your telemetry data. If you'd like to export your choices for later use, including in a production environment, click Export to save a copy of the pipeline's configuration file to your device.

Processing rules playground

The processing rules playground lets you create and test processing rules in a sandbox environment.

This tool is functionally identical to the processing rules builder for real production environments, but any processing rules you configure here won't go into effect and won't affect your telemetry data. If you'd like to save your choices for later use, including in a production environment, click  Export to save a template file to your device. You can also click  Save to save your template within the Telemetry Pipeline web interface, which makes that template available to any other users in the current project.

Settings

This page displays information about your current Telemetry Pipeline project. You can also generate new API keys and view keys that you previously generated.

Team

This page displays information about the team members in your current project, including:

• User Name: The name of that user.
• Email: The email address of that user.
• Permissions: The permissions assigned to that user.
• Added on: The time elapsed since that user was added to the project.

Click Invite Members to invite members to your project, or click the  Edit icon next to a user to adjust settings for that user.
