Summary of what you learned

Estimated time: 1 min

Key takeaways

  1. Fleet Management = Central control for all your collectors.

  2. Collectors register with remotecfg block and appear in inventory.

  3. Configuration pipelines remotely configure without touching machines.

  4. Attribute matching matches pipelines to specific collector groups.

  5. Local + remote configs run in parallel, isolated from each other, which makes it safe to experiment.

  6. Scales your operations so managing many collectors takes the same effort as a few.
