Motivations

• Eagle user needs a default agent like collected to collect metrics/logs/event to make sure eagle could be a full stack solution for monitoring and alerting.
• Eagle need additional functions/extensions than basic collected.
• It's sometimes too heavy to develop a new application for some very simple use case like extract new kinds of logs/metrics, we could directly leverage existing collection agent capability and integrate with eagle.
  
  

Product Design
