Quick start

This walkthrough demonstrates FleetAMP's core workflow in a non-production environment.

1. Start FleetAMP

Follow Installation, or use the disposable container lab.

2. Complete initial setup

Open the FleetAMP URL, create the first administrator when prompted, sign in, and confirm the health and readiness checks. Configure TLS and authentication before remote exposure.

3. Connect a Collector

Configure the OpenTelemetry Collector or OpAMP Supervisor with the FleetAMP OpAMP endpoint. Preserve its instance identity across restarts and report a stable logical Collector ID.

4. Create a group

Open Groups & Labels, create an ownership group, assign a Group Owner, and select eligible unassigned Collectors or configure a controlled dynamic rule.

5. Create a configuration version

From the group, select Create configuration version. Edit an allowed section, validate it, preview the diff and targets, then save a new immutable version.

Existing YAML can instead enter through Configuration migration.

6. Request and approve deployment

Enter a change reason, assign a different eligible reviewer, and submit the exact version. The reviewer confirms validation, target snapshot, selector, reason, and diff before approving or rejecting.

7. Verify operation

Use Deployments to follow rollout state, Fleet to compare desired and effective configuration, and Audit Log to confirm the complete evidence chain. A failed governed rollout records rollback or recovery evidence.
