Fleet management adapters for data collection agents

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more network interfaces;
• a processor coupled to the one or more network interfaces and configured to execute one or more processes;
• and
• a memory configured to store a process that is executable by the processor, the process when executed configured to:
• register, as an orchestration service agent, with a central management device to receive a corresponding configuration for the orchestration service agent, wherein the central management device receives a registration from each of a plurality of orchestration service agents;
• self-configure operation of the orchestration service agent based on the corresponding configuration;
• obtain, from the central management device, an observability-agent-specific configuration package;
• and
• configure, based on the observability-agent-specific configuration package, a corresponding observability agent associated with the orchestration service agent and executing on a corresponding entity.

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor on a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• registering, as an orchestration service agent, with a central management device to receive a corresponding configuration for the orchestration service agent, wherein the central management device receives a registration from each of a plurality of orchestration service agents;
• self-configuring operation of the orchestration service agent based on the corresponding configuration;
• obtaining, from the central management device, an observability-agent-specific configuration package;
• and
• configuring, based on the observability-agent-specific configuration package, a corresponding observability agent associated with the orchestration service agent and executing on a corresponding entity.
