Getting Started with Bindplane | Bindplane (original) (raw)

What is Bindplane?

Bindplane is an OpenTelemetry-native telemetry pipeline designed to collect, refine, and export metrics, logs, and traces from any source to any destination. With Bindplane you can reduce costs, and simplify telemetry collector management at scale.

Bindplane can run in Linux or Docker as a lightweight web server with no dependencies.

Bindplane uses the Bindplane Distro for OpenTelemetry (BDOT) Collector to standardize telemetry management with Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP). You can also create custom distributions of OpenTelemetry Collector and manage them with Bindplane.

Quickstart

You can get started with Bindplane in one of two ways:

Both options have the same features!

If you need more advanced deployment configurations, such as Kubernetes, view the Deployment page. If you require TLS, are using a proxy, or require authentication, check out the Configuration page.

Get started with Bindplane Cloud

We recommend using Bindplane Cloud to get started. It's the fastest and easiest way to build out your telemetry pipelines. It includes a free tier for proof-of-concepts and development projects.

To get started, sign up for Bindplane Cloud, and skip to 2. Access Bindplane UI.

Get started with Bindplane On Prem

Bindplane is built for enterprise deployments. Manage thousands of OpenTelemetry Collectors and petabytes of data in a highly available multi-node configuration.

To get started, move to the next page 1. Install Bindplane Server.

Get started with Bindplane On Prem with Google Marketplace

To get started with installing Bindplane on a GCE instance using the Google Cloud Deployment Manager, view the Google Marketplace Deployments page.
