alloy

OpenTelemetry Collector distribution with programmable pipelines

Grafana Alloy is an open source OpenTelemetry Collector distribution with built-in Prometheus pipelines and support for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. What can Alloy do? * Programmable pipelines: Use a rich expression-based syntax for configuring powerful observability pipelines. * OpenTelemetry Collector Distribution: Alloy is a distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector and supports dozens of its components, alongside new components that make use of Alloy's programmable pipelines. * Big tent: Alloy embraces Grafana's "big tent" philosophy, where Alloy can be used with other vendors or open source databases. It has components to perfectly integrate with multiple telemetry ecosystems: - OpenTelemetry Collector - Prometheus - Grafana Loki - Grafana Pyroscope * Kubernetes-native: Use components to interact with native and custom Kubernetes resources; no need to learn how to use a separate Kubernetes operator. * Shareable pipelines: Use modules to share your pipelines with the world. * Automatic workload distribution: Configure Alloy instances to form a cluster for automatic workload distribution. * Centralized configuration support: Alloy supports retrieving its configuration from a server for centralized configuration management. * Debugging utilities: Use the built-in UI for visualizing and debugging pipelines.
