Configuration pipelines

A configuration pipeline is the unit you create in Fleet Management. When you configure a collector remotely, you’re creating at least one pipeline. Each pipeline holds standard collector configuration for a single operation, such as scraping MySQL metrics, built from components like prometheus.scrape, loki.source.file, or prometheus.remote_write.

You match a pipeline to collectors by their attributes. One pipeline can match many collectors, and one collector can match many pipelines. Each collector pulls the set of pipelines that match it, and that set is its remote configuration.

Each pipeline has a name, configuration content, and matching attributes.

Pipeline components

Pipelines are reusable. Create once, assign to many collectors using attribute matching.
