About:
Grafana Agent is a vendor-neutral telemetry collector that forwards metrics, logs, and traces to compatible backends like Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki. It provides a lightweight, pull-based alternative to the Prometheus server, enabling efficient data collection and routing. The agent supports a wide range of integrations and pipelines for processing telemetry data before export.
Key Features:
  • Multi-signal collection for metrics, logs, and traces
  • Pull-based metrics scraping compatible with Prometheus
  • Flexible pipelines for processing and routing data
  • Static and flow modes for different complexity needs
Use Cases:
  • Collecting Prometheus metrics from diverse sources without a full server
  • Consolidating telemetry pipelines for multiple backends
  • Edge and fleet management for observability data
Alternatives:
  • prometheus – Prometheus is primarily a TSDB and query engine, while Agent focuses on collection and forwarding.
  • opentelemetry-collector – OTel Collector is a CNCF standard for telemetry, with a stronger focus on OpenTelemetry-native signals.
