Why should you demand OpAMP support from your vendor?

Fleet management in the context of telemetry pipelines involves monitoring and configuring agents and collectors to ensure robust performance akin to production architecture, with OpenTelemetry's Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) playing a key role. OpAMP, which operates via gRPC websockets or HTTPS, is becoming a standard for managing collector configurations and monitoring health metrics, offering flexibility across various platforms without OS limitations. This protocol helps mitigate vendor lock-in, a common challenge in the observability industry, by providing a platform-agnostic solution that supports open-source integration and protects against proprietary constraints. Coralogix offers an OpAMP-based fleet management system that emphasizes open-source convenience while maintaining the scalability and efficiency of a SaaS model, ensuring that telemetry infrastructure remains as reliable and scalable as the production environment.
