Observe Agent

The Observe Agent, built on OpenTelemetry Collector, runs on your hosts and in your architecture to collect logs, metrics, traces, and events and sends them to Observe.

System Requirements

Port 8888 should be open for HTTP connections from localhost (network access is not required). This port is used by the agent to monitor itself and the status command will not work if it is blocked.

The Observe Agent supports x86_64 and arm64 architectures and the following platforms:

Linux

  • Debian based: Debian 11+, Ubuntu (24.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS)
