Install collectors
Download a fleet's install bundle and bring collectors online.
Once a fleet exists, you install collectors on your hosts using the fleet's install files. Each install bundle is preconfigured with the fleet's OpAMP endpoint and token, so a freshly installed collector connects to the right fleet automatically.
Download the install files
From the fleet management page, open the fleet and choose Download. Telflo builds an install bundle for the platform you select. Available formats include:
| Format | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Docker | Run the collector as a container. |
| Linux server (VM / bare metal) | Install onto a Linux host using the supervisor. |
| All-in-one | A self-contained bundle for quick setup. |
| Linux import | Bring an existing Linux collector under management. |
Each form remembers the settings you used (such as the install path) so re-opening it later reseeds your inputs.
Linux server quick install
The Linux server bundle includes a one-line install command. It downloads the bundle, extracts it into your chosen install path, and starts the supervisor — all under a single privilege prompt:
sudo bash -c 'set -e; set -o pipefail; \
mkdir -p /opt/telflo; cd /opt/telflo; \
curl -fsSL "<your-download-url>" | tar -xz; \
chmod +x start_supervisor.sh; \
./start_supervisor.sh'The download URL and install path come from the values you set in the download form. The supervisor manages the collector process and maintains the OpAMP connection back to Telflo.
Copy the exact command Telflo generates for your fleet rather than the example above — it embeds the correct URL and install path for your bundle.
Docker
The Docker bundle provides the files and command to run the collector as a container with the fleet's endpoint and token configured. Follow the instructions shown in the download dialog for your fleet.
After installation
A newly installed collector connects to Telflo and appears as an instance in the fleet dashboard, usually within a minute. It then pulls its assigned configuration and applies it. Track its progress on the fleet dashboard.
