Agent Setup

Bronto supports multiple telemetry agents for log collection and forwarding. Choose the agent that fits your existing infrastructure — each guide covers configuration and verification, and links out to the agent’s own installation documentation.

Generate an API Key

Before configuring your chosen agent, create an API Key. Store it securely — Bronto does not display the full key again after generation.

You must have admin privileges to create API keys.
