Technical documentation
Manage your OpenTelemetry collector fleet.
Telflo is a control plane for OpenTelemetry collectors. Build and test a configuration, publish it as a release, deploy it to every collector, and watch each collector's health from one place. Telflo produces standard Collector YAML and stays out of your telemetry data path.
The workflow
Telflo follows one path from configuration to production. Each stage links to the page that documents it.

Build
The visual editor: components, pipelines, configuration forms, and the YAML view.
Testing
Run sample telemetry through a configuration and assert on its output before deploying.
Fleet management
Deploy configurations to your collectors, monitor health, detect drift, and roll back.
AI assistant
Plan, build, and explain configurations from a chat panel in the editor.
CLI
Push, validate, test, and deploy configurations from your terminal, CI, or a coding agent.
MCP server
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or claude.ai so an agent can validate, test, and deploy as tool calls.
Organization settings
Manage your account, organization, members, vault, and service accounts.
API endpoints
The REST API behind the CLI and the MCP server: endpoints, access, limits, and errors.

Collecting Linux logs with OpenTelemetry Collectors
Set up a log generator and an observability platform on two VMs, then deploy a collector fleet that connects them.
Parameterizing configurations for reusable YAML
Use organization variables and variable groups so one configuration serves your dev and prod deployments.
