Mezmo Telemetry Pipelines provides support for ingesting pipeline log data from a number of popular sources, as described in the topics in this section. If you have an interest in using a pipeline source not listed here, contact your Account Manager.
  1. Log into the Mezmo Web App.
  2. In the left-hand menu, click Pipelines. This will open the Edit Pipeline interface.
  3. In the left-hand navigation, click + New Pipeline.
  4. Enter a name for the Pipeline, then click Save.
  5. In the Sources column of the pipeline schematic, click Add.
  6. Select the Pipeline Source you want to use, and enter the configuration information. When the source picker opens, some sources may appear in a Recommended Sources section above the regular Sources tabs. See Recommended Sources below for details.
The topic Supported Telemetry Pipeline Sources provides a full list of available sources and their configuration instructions. The pipeline editor groups account-wide shared streams into a Recommended Sources section shown above the regular Sources tabs in the source picker. The section describes this behavior: “These sources live at the account level. Every pipeline that adds one reads from the same ingest stream.” The OpenTelemetry Source is listed first because Mezmo recommends OpenTelemetry as the primary way to send data into a pipeline. Other recommended sources, such as Mezmo Log Analysis Ingestion, follow it.
A pipeline can include at most one source of a given account-wide shared-stream type. Today the account-wide shared-stream types are the OpenTelemetry Source and Mezmo Log Analysis Ingestion, so a pipeline can include one of each but not more than one of either. You can still add the same shared-stream source to other pipelines.Mezmo enforces this limit for account-wide shared-stream sources however you add the source: the Mezmo Web App, the Pipeline API, Terraform, cloning a pipeline, and importing a pipeline manifest. It is not merely a disabled button in the source picker.In the source picker, if a shared-stream source is already in the pipeline, its card is disabled and shows this hint: “Only one of the these nodes is allowed per pipeline because it reads a shared account-wide stream.” If you try to add a second source of the same shared-stream type to a pipeline through the Pipeline API or a manifest import, Mezmo rejects the request instead of silently succeeding.
