Shipping OpenTelemetry data to FusionReactor Cloud

Shipping OpenTelemetry (OTel) data to FusionReactor Cloud centralizes your observability and enables OpsPilot AI analysis, faster troubleshooting, and cross-tier performance optimization. Using a vendor-agnostic OTLP pipeline ensures your monitoring remains flexible and future-proof.

To send your telemetry data to FusionReactor Cloud, you'll need a component that receives data from your instrumented applications and forwards it via OTLP. There are two recommended options:

1. OpenTelemetry Collector

The industry-standard, vendor-neutral service for receiving, processing, and exporting telemetry. Recommended for pure OTel environments and complex data transformation needs.

2. Grafana Alloy

A comprehensive distribution from Grafana Labs that extends beyond OpenTelemetry. It is fully OTLP-compatible but adds advanced features for users who also utilize Prometheus, Loki, or the wider Grafana ecosystem.

Which should I choose?

If you want a pure, vendor-neutral setup, choose the OTel Collector. If you require advanced routing or deep integration with existing Grafana-based tools, choose Grafana Alloy.

Before and after setting up your telemetry pipeline, explore these topics:
