The new Advanced Pipeline Editor went live for all paid plans, we launched a public Blueprints library of ready-made pipeline patterns, we reworked plan pricing and raised the Free tier to 100 GB/day, and the source and processor catalog grew with an AWS Neuron source, an AWS CloudWatch metrics source, and a full set of XML processors. None of these are flashy on their own.

The Advanced Pipeline Editor is now live for all paid Bindplane plans. It's a rebuilt configuration editing experience that puts your whole config in a single interactive graph: every source, processor, router, and destination, across logs, metrics, and traces, in one view you can search, pan, zoom, and edit directly. If you've ever bounced between pipeline tabs trying to figure out where a processor sits in a config with a dozen sources and three destinations, this release is for you.

Chelsea and I recently wrote a guide on how we monitor Claude Code usage internally with Bindplane. TLDR; We remotely manage a Bindplane Distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector (BDOT) that runs on every engineer's laptop. This setup is great, but it has one downside. Sending to Google Cloud Monitoring, Swarmia, and any other destination directly from an engineer’s laptop is limited to local processing. You can’t get the benefit of centralized routing and processing on a gateway.

If there was a theme this month, it was making the hard parts of a telemetry pipeline less risky. For SIEM customers, we shipped an ASIM-native Microsoft Sentinel destination and automatic OCSF mapping in Pipeline Intelligence, two of the most-requested pieces for teams routing security data through Bindplane. On the platform side, we added config rollback, which turns "I changed something and now it is behaving differently" into a one-click trip back to a known-good version.

If you're sending security data to Microsoft Sentinel, you now have a faster path. A new ASIM mode lands your logs directly in Sentinel's native ASIM tables: no custom tables to predefine, no schema to design before data flows. We added ASIM mode to the Microsoft Sentinel destination, backed by a new ASIM standardization processor that converts raw logs to ASIM in the pipeline and routes each record to the table it belongs in. Here's how it works, and why we built it this way.

At Bindplane, we iterate fast. One of the most important tools we've adopted across our organization is Claude Code. It helps every team here build solutions to complex problems with both speed and precision. But speed without visibility is a liability. We needed a reliable way to monitor and audit how Claude Code was being used across our team. Luckily, we build the best platform on the market for data in motion.

Two days in Minneapolis with the OpenTelemetry community, talking about where telemetry pipelines are headed and what the AI wave is doing to them. Two topics dominated everything: AI and cost reduction. Not as separate conversations, either. The more the community talked about AI telemetry, the more the cost question followed right behind it. I joined Diana Todea from VictoriaMetrics and Antonio Jimenez Martinez from Cisco ThousandEyes on the Telemetry That Matters panel.

Originally published June 2024. Updated May 2026. A lot has changed since the first version of this guide. In May 2026, OpenTelemetry officially graduated within the CNCF, the highest maturity level a project can achieve. All three core signals (metrics, logs, and traces) are now stable across every major language SDK. Collector adoption has never been higher, and the ecosystem around it, particularly OpAMP for remote management, has matured significantly. This update walks through three things.

Today we're rolling out a major upgrade to API Keys in Bindplane. You can now create up to 25 API keys per project, give each one a description, set an expiration date, and delete keys you no longer need. Under the hood, every key is now hashed with Argon2, the modern standard for credential storage. If you've been working around the old single-key limit by sharing one key across CI jobs, scripts, and teammates, this release is for you.
