The support matrix says no; the metrics say yes

Telegraf on Windows Server 2025: unsupported, works anyway

The VCF Operations agent support matrix doesn’t list Windows Server 2025. The Telegraf agent installs, runs and reports anyway. What ‘unsupported’ really means, how to deploy it deliberately, what to watch because of it — and the same Telegraf on VKS, where a hidden proxy dependency bit me.

Two fluent-bit shippers — a VKS package and a Windows service — converging on one Ops for Logs endpoint

fluent-bit two ways: VKS add-on and Windows agent, one log endpoint

The same log pipeline for two very different worlds: fluent-bit as a VKS package (values secret, CFAPI output, verified 200s per batch) and fluent-bit as a Windows service on Server 2025 shipping the event log to the same VCF Operations for Logs endpoint. One backend, two configs, and what each side taught me.
