# Sources Sources define where your telemetry data originates, connecting to infrastructure, applications, and services to ingest data into your Bindplane pipeline. ## Source Categories ### Infrastructure & Cloud * AWS, Google Cloud, Azure services * Kubernetes clusters and containers * Host systems (Linux, Windows, macOS) ### Applications & Databases * Web servers (Apache, Nginx, IIS) * Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) * Application servers and message queues * Custom applications ### Network & Security * Network devices and load balancers * Security platforms and firewalls * Authentication systems ### Logging & Monitoring * System and application logs * Monitoring tools (Prometheus, StatsD) * File-based sources ## Available Sources ### Infrastructure & Cloud

Started To add a source to your configuration: 1. Navigate to the **Configs** tab in Bindplane 2. Select or create a configuration 3. Click **Add Source** 4. Choose the appropriate source type from the list above 5. Configure the required parameters 6. Add destinations to route the collected data 7. Apply the configuration to your collectors ## Platform Support Most sources support multiple platforms: * **Linux**: Full support for most sources * **Windows**: Support for Windows-specific sources and general sources * **macOS**: Limited support for system monitoring sources * **Kubernetes**: Specialized sources for containerized environments ## Telemetry Types Sources can collect different types of telemetry data: * **Metrics**: Numerical measurements and statistics * **Logs**: Text-based event records * **Traces**: Distributed tracing data for request flows Some sources support multiple telemetry types, allowing you to collect comprehensive observability data from a single source. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
