Welcome to Bindplane's Feature Guides!

Comprehensive guides for Bindplane features including processors, rollouts, metric filtering, audit trails, access control, and telemetry management

This section contains detailed guides for Bindplane's advanced features and capabilities. Learn how to leverage processors, manage rollouts, implement access control, and optimize your telemetry pipelines.

Core Features

Processors

Data Processing: Learn how to use processors to filter, transform, and enrich your telemetry data. Processors help optimize data flow, reduce costs, and ensure compliance.

Processor Impact on Agent Performance

Performance Optimization: Understand how different processors affect collector performance and learn best practices for optimizing your pipeline.

Processor Bundles

Bundle commonly used Processors: Create reusable processor bundles to standardize data processing across multiple configurations and environments.

Data Management

Metric Filtering

Metric Optimization: Filter and reduce metric data to control costs and focus on the most important metrics for your use case.

Snapshots

Configuration Snapshots: Create and manage configuration snapshots for version control, rollback capabilities, and environment promotion.

Live Preview

Real-time Testing: Test configuration changes in real-time before deploying them to production environments.

Pausing Telemetry

Flow Control: Temporarily pause telemetry collection for maintenance, troubleshooting, or cost management.

Deployment & Management

Rollouts

Safe Deployments: Deploy configuration changes safely across your collector fleet with rollback capabilities and health monitoring.

Progressive Rollouts

Gradual Deployment: Implement progressive rollouts to gradually deploy changes and minimize risk in production environments.

Library

Configuration Library: Organize and manage your configurations, sources, destinations, and processors in a centralized library.

Available Components

Component Discovery: Learn about the available sources, processors, and destinations in your custom collector distribution. Understand component capabilities, compatibility, and configuration options.

Bring Your Own Collector

Custom Collectors: Learn how to integrate your own custom OpenTelemetry collector distribution with Bindplane for enhanced flexibility and control over your telemetry pipeline.

Security & Governance

Role-Based Access Control

Access Management: Implement role-based access control to secure your Bindplane deployment and manage user permissions.

Audit Trail

Change Tracking: Track all changes, deployments, and user actions for compliance, troubleshooting, and security auditing.
