Sources Overview
Edge Delta integrates with a wide range of data sources to give you complete visibility across your systems. These sources form the first step in your telemetry pipelines—where logs, metrics, traces, and events are ingested from diverse environments and technologies.
Whether you’re collecting system logs from Linux hosts, Kubernetes pod metrics, or streaming events from cloud platforms, Edge Delta provides purpose-built connectors designed for reliability, performance, and flexibility. Each source type is optimized for its respective data format and transport method, ensuring efficient ingestion without complex setup.
Edge Delta supports both agent-based and agentless ingestion methods, giving you the freedom to deploy across hybrid and cloud-native environments without compromising data fidelity or control.
