Monitor the Bindplane Infrastructure

Monitoring Bindplane and Bindplane Collectors provides visibility into the health of your Observability Pipeline. We will walk through a few steps to easily set up sources that will forward the Bindplane server logs and the Bindplane Collector logs to the destination of your choice.

Bindplane Monitoring

1. The first step is to deploy an collector on the Bindplane server itself. This will deploy like any collector, please follow the Quickstart Guide if you have any questions.

2. Create a separate configuration for the Bindplane server as well.

3. When an collector is running on the Bindplane server and it is added to a configuration, we will select a source like in the image below:

We can leave the settings default for this example:

4. After we hit the 'Save' button we can click the 'Start Rollout' to push the configuration to the collector. All of your Bindplane logs will flow into the destination that you have configured. Next, we can set up collector monitoring.
