3. Install Your First Agent

Now that we have BindPlane OP running, we need to install our first agent so we can start collecting telemetry.

BindPlane OP is built around OpenTelemetry and uses the observIQ Distribution for OpenTelemetry Collector. To learn more checkout the GitHub page.

Installation

  1. Navigate to the Agents tab
  2. Choose the OS for the intended agent host
  3. Copy the install script and run it on your agent host system
