One collector is easy. A fleet isn’t.
Sending telemetry from a single collector is simple. Doing it across hundreds of collectors, in different environments and on different machines, is where the work piles up. Each one has a configuration to maintain, and keeping them consistent by hand doesn’t scale.
Manage the whole fleet from one place
Fleet Management is a Grafana Cloud feature for managing many collector deployments of Grafana Alloy at once. From the Grafana Cloud interface, you can:
- See fleet health at a glance. An overview dashboard shows collector counts, versions, operating systems, and health across the whole fleet.
- Monitor individual collectors. Inspect any collector’s health, logs, attributes, and configuration errors from its details view.
- Configure collectors remotely. Create configuration pipelines once and assign them to collectors by attribute, with no per-machine scripting.
- Control cost and collection. Turn data streams on and off to keep telemetry focused and reduce overload.
Real results from real teams
“Managing everything within Fleet Management makes configuring collectors effortless. The correct configuration is applied automatically across our infrastructure, whether it’s a point-of-sale system, a user PC, or a Kubernetes service.”
“Moving to Grafana Cloud reduced our complexity… nobody wants to maintain a huge amount of infrastructure. Everybody wants to do the new cool stuff.”
