|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Users define pipeline configuration in YAML and can create pipelines through the AWS Console or AWS CLI. | Telegraf uses TOML configuration files, supports multiple plugin instances, filtering selectors and environment-variable substitution. |
| Purpose | A fully managed, serverless data collector streams real-time logs, metrics, and traces to OpenSearch Service domains and OpenSearch Serverless collections. | Telegraf is an open source agent for collecting metrics from infrastructure, applications, and devices. |
This service suits teams collecting logs, metrics, or traces for OpenSearch analysis and visualization. It is also relevant where pipeline processing, capacity controls, or private connectivity are needed.
The open source edition suits personal, small, and simple data pipelines that need infrastructure, application, or device metrics. Teams needing centralized configuration, fleet visibility, or role-based access control can consider Enterprise.
