Ξεκινώντας με τα βασικά...

Δηλαδή δεν υπάρχει περίπτωση να μιλάμε για πλαστικό σωλήνα; Ή για μέγάλα όνειρα; Ή ομαδικό πνεύμα; Και τίποτα άλλο δεν μπορεί να είναι απίστευτο;

This means you don't have to build your own config provisioning pipelines (or god forbid!) manually SSH into any machine.

Whether you want to deploy certain configs on _all_ collectors for compliance, or deploy specialized configurations on individual collectors, Fleet has you covered!

The second (and even cooler!) part is centralized config management! ⚙️

You can define your telemetry pipelines right into Fleet Management's editor, along the conditions on where each pipeline should be deployed.

Do you want to dynamically assign a pipeline to all Linux collectors on v1.5.1? Done!

So what now? Right away, Fleet Management provides a real-time inventory of all running collectors, alongside their unique ID, OS, version, attributes, and most importantly, their health. 🩺

With a single click, I can dig into any Collector's current metrics, logs and locate any firing alerts.

Now, whether you're running 10 or 100k collectors, all you need to do is add a `remotecfg` block in your configuration so it can reach out to Grafana Cloud. And that's all! 🪄

All other configuration can be remotely assigned via the Fleet Management interface later on.
