Build pipelines

In pipeline, build data processing flows by connecting the components that you have added in Component inventory. A pipeline defines how telemetry data moves from receivers, through processors, and then to exporters.

The Build pipelines page displays the pipelines that you have already created. You can select the All tab to view all the pipelines or view by pipeline name, which contains data type such as traces, metrics, or logs.

To build a pipeline:

  1. Select Add pipeline.
  2. Enter the pipeline name.
  3. Select the data type, such as Traces, Metrics, or Logs.
  4. Select one or more receivers from the components.
  5. Optional: Select one or more processors. Processors run in the order that you define.
  6. Select one or more exporters.
  7. Select Add to create the pipeline.

You can add multiple pipelines within a single template. Each pipeline independently defines a data flow for one telemetry signal.

After you finish the pipeline configuration, select Next to continue to YAML Preview.
