Overview

The Edge Delta Metrics destination node is a default metrics destination with no configurable parameters. It is used to send metrics to the Edge Delta SaaS to power the Metrics Explorer page as well Kubernetes Overview, Pipeline Status, filters and others. In addition it collects the agent version, agent heartbeats, and last activated data. You should not remove this node as it will disable fleet management and filter features in the Edge Delta app.
