Edge Delta is an observability and telemetry data platform that processes logs, metrics, traces, and events at the source before routing them to downstream destinations. It operates on a distributed architecture using local agent fleets (Edge Pipelines) and agentless serverless extensions (Cloud Pipelines) to ingest data from sources including files, containers, and APIs. The platform performs pre-index data processing such as filtering, enrichment, masking, and structuring to optimize data volumes and reduce ingestion costs. It standardizes data into the OpenTelemetry (OTel) schema, supports transformations using OpenTelemetry Transformation Language (OTTL), and provides native Kubernetes monitoring and eBPF tracing capabilities.
The system includes pipeline controls for dynamic routing based on data attributes, resource-based rate limiting, and backpressure management. A configurable disk-based persistent queue provides data durability by buffering information during destination outages, while secure data transmission is supported via mTLS, OAuth 2.0, and AWS IAM role assumption. The platform incorporates AI agents to automate troubleshooting and root-cause analysis, provides observability tools like service maps and alerting monitors, and enables querying of datasets directly in object storage. Alerts can be routed to destinations such as Microsoft Teams via configured webhooks.
