Apica Fleet
Collection Plane
Centralized Control for Every Telemetry Agent
One Control Plane. Every Agent. Any Environment.
Fleet simplifies data collection across hybrid environments by eliminating the operational overhead of managing distributed telemetry agents.
Through a lightweight Agent Manager that follows an “install once, update infrequently” model, Fleet enables configuration-driven data collection that adapts dynamically to changing environment conditions, scaling collection during incidents, reducing it during quiet periods, and pushing updates across thousands of agents without downtime.
Full OpenTelemetry compatibility and bring-your-own-agent flexibility mean Fleet works with your existing agents, not against them.
With centralized management and uniform configuration, Fleet allows you to scale data collection based on business needs, reduce costs, and maintain a secure, efficient observability infrastructure.
Capabilities
What Fleet Does
Centralized agent management that adapts to your environment — not the other way around.
Responsive Data Collection
Automatically adapts to environment changes—collect more data when you need it and less when you don’t, optimizing costs based on real-time requirements.
Pre-Existing Agent Support
Leverages your current observability investments by working with almost all existing agents through standard configuration files.
Centralized Configuration Management
Manage any agent from one central location through an intuitive Fleet UI, eliminating manual maintenance of distributed data collectors across hybrid environments.
Install Once, Update Infrequently
Agent Manager functions as a lightweight sidecar utility that only needs installation once and infrequent updates, reducing operational overhead.
Multi-Agent Type Support
Works with major agent types including Fluentd, Vector, Prometheus, and custom agent capabilities—avoiding vendor lock-in with full OpenTelemetry support.
Seamless Open-Source Integration
Integrates with existing open-source observability tools to maintain flexibility and prevent proprietary platform dependencies.
Real-Time Agent Status Monitoring
Built-in status metrics (logiq_agent_liveness) provide visibility into agent health with Active, Disconnected, Inactive, and Error states.
Simplified Configuration Restart/Reload
Automatically checks for new configuration files and triggers appropriate restart/reload functionality for supported agents without manual intervention.
Benefits

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Apica Fleet management compatible with existing telemetry agents?
Yes, Fleet leverages your current observability investments by working with almost all existing agents through standard configuration files. Multi-agent type support includes Fluentd, Vector, Prometheus, and custom agent capabilities with full OpenTelemetry (OTel) support.
Can Apica Fleet centrally manage agents across hybrid environments?
Absolutely, Fleet provides centralized configuration management to control any agent from one central location through an intuitive Fleet UI. This eliminates manual maintenance of distributed data collectors across complex hybrid environments.
What are the primary benefits of using Apica Fleet Management?
Fleet transforms traditional static telemetry into a dynamic, flexible system that automatically adapts to environment changes. It reduces operational costs while providing heterogeneous agent management with seamless integrations and simplified maintenance.
How does Apica Fleet reduce operational overhead for agent management?
The Agent Manager functions as a lightweight sidecar utility that only needs installation once and infrequent updates. Automated configuration restart/reload functionality eliminates manual intervention while providing real-time agent status monitoring.
How does Apica Fleet's pricing structure work for multi-agent deployments?
Fleet offers cost-optimized management by automatically collecting more data when needed and less when you don’t, optimizing costs based on real-time requirements. The responsive data collection approach prevents vendor lock-in while maintaining budget flexibility.
