Bindplane + VictoriaMetrics: Unified Telemetry for Metrics, Traces, and Logs at Scale

We’re excited to announce new native Bindplane destinations for the VictoriaMetrics ecosystem. It’s now easier to collect, process, and route OpenTelemetry metrics, traces, and logs at scale.

You can directly connect VictoriaMetrics’ high-performance storage engines to Bindplane’s vendor-neutral, OpenTelemetry-native telemetry pipeline.

What is VictoriaMetrics?

The VictoriaMetrics ecosystem is built for high-throughput, cost-efficient observability storage.

• VictoriaMetrics is a fast, scalable time series database commonly used as a Prometheus-compatible long-term storage and backend for metrics.
• VictoriaTraces provides distributed tracing storage optimized for performance and retention efficiency.
• VictoriaLogs delivers high-performance structured and unstructured log storage.

Teams choose VictoriaMetrics when ingestion volume is high, retention requirements are long, and cost efficiency matters. It’s proven in environments pushing extreme throughput, from large Kubernetes fleets to multi-region deployments.

With this integration, you can incorporate VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaTraces, and VictoriaLogs into Bindplane-powered telemetry pipelines without hand-building exporter configurations or dealing with collector drift.

What is Bindplane?

Bindplane is an OpenTelemetry-native telemetry pipeline that helps you collect, refine, and route metrics, logs, and traces from any source to any destination.

Bindplane provides:

• Centralized management for thousands to 1 million OpenTelemetry Collectors
• Visual configuration editing with controlled rollouts
• Pipeline Intelligence and processor recommendations
• Real-time data reduction, filtering, sampling, and enrichment
• 80+ sources and 40+ destinations across observability and security
• Vendor-neutral, BYOC-friendly control over your entire telemetry pipeline

Bindplane simplifies and scales telemetry across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments.

VictoriaMetrics handles storage at scale.

Bindplane operates the collectors that feed it.

Bindplane Now Works with the VictoriaMetrics Ecosystem

With these native destinations, Bindplane can collect, transform, and route telemetry directly to VictoriaMetrics using optimized OpenTelemetry exporters.

This gives you:

• Simple setup using native VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaTraces, and VictoriaLogs destinations
• Automatic resource detection and enrichment before ingestion
• The ability to route telemetry to multiple observability or security platforms at the same time
• Full pipeline visibility including collector health, throughput, queue depth, and performance

Whether you are sending Prometheus metrics to VictoriaMetrics, exporting OTLP traces to VictoriaTraces, or routing structured logs into VictoriaLogs, the setup is straightforward.

Because Bindplane sits upstream of storage, you can also:

• Drop low-value metrics before long-term retention
• Sample traces intentionally instead of blindly
• Filter noisy logs
• Normalize resource attributes across clusters
• Batch and optimize export performance

VictoriaMetrics scales ingestion.

Bindplane controls what gets ingested.

Try Bindplane with VictoriaMetrics

Getting started takes minutes.

1. Log in to your Bindplane account
2. Navigate to Library
3. Click Add Destination
4. Select VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaTraces, or VictoriaLogs
5. Configure hostname, port, and headers
6. Name the destination and click Save

Create a Configuration in Bindplane

Once your VictoriaMetrics destination is connected, build a configuration to process and route telemetry.

1. Go to Configurations → Create Configuration
2. Give it a name and select the Agent Type and Platform
3. Add your telemetry sources such as OTLP, Prometheus scrape, file logs, or cloud services
4. Add any of the VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaTraces/VictoriaLogs destinations

Then refine the pipeline with processors:

• Parsing to structure logs
• Filtering to remove unused metrics or logs
• Sampling to control trace volume
• Masking to protect sensitive fields
• Enrichment to standardize resource attributes
• Batching to optimize export performance

Add a Collector and Roll Out

Next:

• Add an Agent or assign the configuration to a Fleet
• Start a Rollout to validate and deploy

Bindplane generates the OpenTelemetry configuration, versions it, and deploys it safely across your collector fleet.

Instead of manually updating hundreds or thousands of collectors, you manage the entire VictoriaMetrics ingestion layer from one control plane.

Observe Telemetry in VictoriaMetrics

As soon as the rollout completes, telemetry begins flowing into your VictoriaMetrics destinations.

You can:

• Query and visualize metrics at scale
• Troubleshoot distributed traces
• Search both structured and unstructured logs
• Build dashboards and alerts
• Analyze enriched telemetry processed upstream in Bindplane

Why This Matters at Scale

VictoriaMetrics is proven at extreme ingestion and storage volumes. But as ingestion grows, operational complexity shifts upstream.

Large collector fleets introduce:

• Configuration drift
• Inconsistent processing logic
• Over-ingestion and unnecessary storage cost
• Risky manual rollouts

Bindplane centralizes that control plane.

It ensures every collector feeding VictoriaMetrics follows the same processing standards, rollout workflows, and governance controls across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments.

You keep VictoriaMetrics fast and cost-efficient by ensuring only the right telemetry reaches it.

What’s Next?

We’re continuing to expand the Bindplane integration ecosystem to help teams build scalable, vendor-neutral telemetry pipelines.

If you’re running VictoriaMetrics today, this integration gives you centralized control over how telemetry reaches your storage layer.
