Lightning Talk: Managing OpenTelemetry Through the OpAMP Protocol
summary
Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) defines a binary protobuf-over-websocket+protobuf payloads (also HTTP) protocol for remote lifecycle management of collectors: remote configuration, status reporting, secure credentials, and package deployment and status (agent upgrades). A server implementation, BindPlane OP, manages an ObserveIQ OpenTelemetry distro with an embedded OpAMP client and demo shows applying configs and upgrades across 130 agents selected with immediate OTLP telemetry feedback, error diagnostics, and realtime log filtering that reduces telemetry volume.
