Effective configuration in Fleet Management
Effective configuration in Fleet Management
Remote configuration, a key feature of Grafana Fleet Management, relies on collectors to poll the Fleet Management server at regular intervals for configuration changes.
The problem with this automated approach is that it can be hard to tell when a collector has loaded the new remote configuration or if it experienced a configuration error.
Fleet Management solves this problem with the new effective configuration feature, which shows the remote configuration currently running on the collector. When you roll out a configuration change, the Configuration tab in the collector details drawer shows the rollout status. You can see both the server configuration and effective configuration while the rollout is pending. Once the changes successfully apply, only the effective configuration is shown. If an error occurs, the application flags the error and provides context for troubleshooting.
