Production Capabilities

The Complete Platform for OpenTelemetry Fleet Management

A comprehensive, battle-tested control plane for OpenTelemetry fleets. Verified in production on Windows Server and Linux, with Kubernetes workload observation in pilot.

Fleet Observability & Process Control

Real-time visibility, OpAMP communication, and zero-SSH operational control across Windows and Linux hosts, with Kubernetes workloads observed alongside them.

Live Honeycomb & Fleet Grid

Instant visual clustering for thousands of nodes

The Fleet Overview gives you real-time visibility into every connected OpenTelemetry Collector. Toggle dynamically between an interactive honeycomb grid and a rich, sortable data table.

OpAMP Heartbeats & Lifecycle Health

Detect agent degradation before pipelines break

Supervisors maintain a persistent WebSocket connection to the Management Server over OpAMP (port 4320), reporting granular process metrics and heartbeat status every 5 seconds.

Remote Process Control & Live Logs

Manage processes and fetch logs without SSH or RDP

Execute lifecycle commands directly from the dashboard. The server translates actions into signed OpAMP command frames that the edge Supervisor executes locally with zero network friction.

Next-Gen Pipeline Topology & Architecture

Interactive DAG visualization, signal-isolated swimlanes, and floating component inspectors directly in the browser.

Multi-Stage Pipeline Topology DAG

v1.2.0 Headline

Explore complex OTel pipelines with zero cognitive overload

The next-generation pipeline visualizer automatically groups active receivers, chained processors, exporters, and connectors into clean, centered execution stages without messy diagonal wires.

Floating Component Config Inspector

Interactive

Instant click-to-YAML navigation and live sub-block inspection

Clicking any node in the topology canvas opens an anchored slide-over card displaying the component's exact YAML sub-block extracted directly from the active configuration.

Hybrid Sidecar Pipeline Segregation

Hardened

Isolate core observability from secure SIEM & AI processors

Spin up isolated OTel sidecar pipelines alongside your primary collector. Sidecar binaries run on dedicated ports (14317/14318) so experimental AI or heavy compliance processing never impacts core telemetry.

Fleet Orchestration & GitOps Policy Engine

Hierarchical 4-tier configuration inheritance, Kubernetes-style targeting, and continuous drift remediation.

4-Tier GitOps Precedence & Deep Merge

Enterprise

Git as the source of truth, database as the runtime compiler

CollectorCtrl compiles the final Effective YAML for every compute node using an enterprise 4-tier inheritance engine, serving configs over OpAMP in under 2ms from PostgreSQL.

Canary Rollouts & Health Gates

Test config mutations on 10% before going fleet-wide

Deploy configuration updates to a canary ring first. Monitor real-time health metrics, then promote to 100% or click rollback to revert the entire fleet in milliseconds.

Continuous Zero-Drift Remediation

Prevent edge tampering from breaking telemetry standards

If an engineer edits a collector configuration file directly on an edge server, the Supervisor detects the hash divergence within seconds and automatically restores the authorized policy.

Package Lifecycle & Safe Upgrade Watchdog

Automated binary upgrades with health verification, crash-loop rollback, and CPU architecture matching.

Upgrade Watchdog with Automatic Rollback

Hardened

Zero-touch safety for fleet-wide collector binary upgrades

Every collector binary upgrade is governed by a state machine (offered ➔ verifying ➔ healthy | rolled_back | failed). If an agent fails to report healthy within 3 minutes, the previous binary is re-offered automatically.

CPU Arch Matching & Upload-Time Validation

Reject bad binaries at upload time before they reach servers

CollectorCtrl performs magic-byte binary header inspection on every package upload, verifying executable format (PE, ELF, Mach-O) and matching target CPU architectures.

Integrated Custom OCB Builder

Compile tailored OpenTelemetry Collectors directly from the UI

The built-in OpenTelemetry Collector Builder (OCB) lets you compile minimal, secure collector binaries containing only the components your infrastructure requires.

AI Fleet Operations & Model Context Protocol

Empower AI assistants with authenticated natural-language fleet access and in-dashboard YAML copilot tools.

CollectorCtrl Copilot

NEW

One AI assistant, everywhere — ask, verify, approve

A persistent, fleet-wide AI assistant available on every page (Ctrl + /). It answers questions in plain English using your live fleet data through a secure toolbelt, shows an Agent Reasoning trace for every answer, and proposes changes as inline approval cards — nothing executes without a human decision.

Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

AI Ready

Query and inspect your fleet using Claude Desktop or Cursor

CollectorCtrl provides a native MCP endpoint (/api/mcp) over JSON-RPC 2.0. Query agent health, telemetry volume, package versions, and audit logs using natural language from any MCP client.

In-Dashboard ✨ AI Assistant Drawer

Your expert pair-programmer for OpenTelemetry configuration

Integrated directly into the Monaco YAML editors. Click ✨ AI Assistant to explain unfamiliar pipeline blocks, diagnose validation errors, or suggest sampling rules.

Pending AI Actions Governance

Human-in-the-loop review for autonomous fleet changes

When AI agents propose configuration updates or policy modifications, CollectorCtrl stages them in a dedicated review queue requiring authorized human approval before application.

Telemetry Insights, Data Governance & Security

Find the recurring telemetry patterns that drive volume, remediate log fragmentation, generate tested edge rules, and enforce enterprise-grade security.

Telemetry Governor & Pattern Insights

Data Governance

Recurring pattern ranking, log fragmentation remediation, and tested edge rules

Deploy non-invasive edge taps that sample every severity at one rate, then rank the recurring log patterns and span routes that make up most of your telemetry. Identify fragmented logs and collector noise, and generate tested OpenTelemetry rules to fix them at the edge, without the overhead of permanent raw storage.

Hive-Partitioned S3 Data Lakehouse

Parallel telemetry export for on-demand Amazon Athena and DuckDB analytics

The Telemetry Governor writes structured, replayable telemetry to Amazon S3 (or MinIO) in Hive-partitioned gzip JSON Lines (.jsonl.gz) for multi-year compliance and ad-hoc query analysis.

ZeroTouch Auto-Instrumentation

Alpha

Inject tracing into running services without changing code

The Supervisor automatically discovers running services on the node and injects OpenTelemetry agents into application processes without requiring source code modifications or recompilation.

Enterprise Identity, RBAC & SIEM Streaming

Corporate OIDC SSO, granular permissions, and OTLP audit streaming

Built from the ground up for enterprise compliance. Integrate with your corporate identity provider, enforce least-privilege RBAC, and stream every administrative action to your SIEM.

CollectorCtrl vs. The Status Quo

Why platform teams replace fragile SSH scripts with governed OpAMP control.

Manual Fleet Operations
Governed with CollectorCtrl
SSH into 500+ servers to manually edit YAML configs
Define 4-tier GitOps policies once; push fleet-wide in sub-2ms
Silent local YAML edits cause un-audited configuration drift
Supervisor detects hash mismatch and auto-remediates in seconds
Bad binary updates cause multi-node outages and telemetry gaps
Upgrade Watchdog with 3-minute health grace and automatic rollback
AI assistants have no safe, structured access to fleet status
Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with RBAC and audit trail
No visibility into complex OTel pipeline connections
Next-gen DAG topology visualizer with swimlanes and signal filters
Uncontrolled telemetry noise and fragmented logs overwhelm backends
Telemetry Governor recurring-pattern ranking and tested edge remediation rules
