Sumo Logic Defines Future of Agent Collection on OpenTelemetry
April 05 2022 - 8:00AM
Sumo Logic (Nasdaq: SUMO), the SaaS analytics platform to enable
reliable and secure cloud-native applications, marks a new
milestone in innovation for Sumo Logic Observability with Sumo
Logic OpenTelemetry Distro Collector (OT Distro).
The OT Distro Collector is designed to simplify and democratize
the collection of logs, metrics, traces, and metadata from modern
cloud applications. With this announcement, Sumo Logic further
embraces open source and establishes OpenTelemetry as its future
standard to collect all machine data, breaking from the legacy
model of using proprietary agents to gather critical application
and infrastructure telemetry.
Most organizations have multiple tools for data collection and
no single framework or standard way of capturing critical signals
for observability, leading to increased costs and overhead. By
adopting OpenTelemetry, site reliability engineering (SRE) teams
can define and own their global collection strategy, without fear
of vendor lock-in. The unified collection of logs, metrics and
traces available in the OT Distro Collector eliminates the need to
manage multiple agents, further removing complexity from data
collection.
“Full-stack observability is absolutely necessary to manage
modern applications. At its core, observability is a data analytics
problem. As the industry standardizes on OpenTelemetry for data
collection, it will put the focus back where it should be - on a
great SRE experience with great data analytics,” said Erez Barak,
VP of Product Development for Observability, Sumo Logic. “This
release of Sumo Logic OT Distro Collector is the first step towards
what will ultimately become the sole collector on our unified
continuous intelligence platform. With it, our customers can ingest
telemetry from all domains - logs, metrics, traces, and metadata -
and deliver reliable and secure digital experiences at scale.”
As noted in a recent report1 from 451 Research, part of S&P
Global Market Intelligence, organizations are already dealing with
considerable complexity in the infrastructure and applications they
are collecting telemetry from. The push behind OpenTelemetry is
proof that the point of emphasis for differentiation has shifted to
data analysis and user experience. The research also noted that
with the various organizational dynamics hurdles facing
observability adoption, companies will want to embrace processes
and frameworks that make instrumentation and analysis more
streamlined.
The initial release of Sumo Logic OT Distro Collector is
available today and supports:
- Architectures, including x86/x64 and ARM
- Operating systems, including Mac OS, Linux
- Orchestration platforms, including Kubernetes
In addition to the standard OpenTelemetry capabilities listed,
the OT Distro Collector also includes support for automatic
collector registration, heartbeat reporting (in advance of full
OpAmp support), as well as a built-in Telegraf support, allowing
customers to leverage the Telegraf catalog of input plugins. These
unique additions simplify the migration to an OpenTelemetry based
approach while using a vendor-supported agent.
