Concepts

LinkMesh has a handful of first-class entities. Once you understand the vocabulary, the UI maps cleanly to what’s running on disk and what flows through the network.

  • Collector — an agent installation that runs the OTel runtime locally
  • Collector Group — N collectors sharing one config (redundancy + scale-out)
  • Source — an inbound receiver (syslog, OTLP, file tail, …)
  • Pipeline — a chain of processors (filter, transform, mask) — the reusable processing recipe
  • Route — a matcher binding a Source to a Pipeline + Destinations
  • Destination — the terminal exporter (Loki, ClickHouse, S3, …)
  • Link — collector-to-collector forwarding (planned for a future release)
