Pipeline Manager is a production-ready, white-labeled version of Bindplane. It is designed for teams transitioning to OpenTelemetry (OTel) but not yet ready to fully commit to native OTel instrumentation. It supports:
A visual UI hosted in the customer’s infrastructure.
An “agent” model that pulls data from various sources.
Deployment flexibility across Kubernetes, VMs, and Docker Compose.
Pipeline Manager is ideal for teams needing a reliable, agent-based data collection tool with centralized management capabilities.
