The [Sumo Logic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Collector](/docs/send-data/opentelemetry-collector) simplifies remote management of data collection by enabling setup and configuration from the Sumo Logic UI, deployment to multiple collectors at once, and centralized management of data configurations using source templates.
The [Sumo Logic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Collector](/docs/send-data/opentelemetry-collector) simplifies remote management of data collection by enabling setup and configuration from the Sumo Logic UI, deploying to multiple collectors at once, data filtering with remote processing rules, and centralized management of data configurations using source templates.

You can tag your OpenTelemetry collectors to categorize and group them. These tags are enriched in your data so you can use them in dashboards and searches.
**Key features**

Remote management data configuration is handled using source templates. This feature extends our [Installed Collector](/docs/send-data/installed-collectors/sources) source template to support multiple collectors.
* **Tagging collectors**. Tag your OpenTelemetry collectors to categorize and group them. These tags enrich your data, allowing you to use them effectively in dashboards and searches.
* **Source templates for configuration**. Remote management data configuration is handled using source templates, an enhancement of our [Installed Collector source template](/docs/send-data/installed-collectors/sources), supporting multiple collectors. By associating source templates with collector tags—a process called *collector linking*—you reduce redundancy and streamline configuration management across your environment.
* **Flexible data processing**. Transform, filter, and enhance data centrally using processing rules to ensure consistency across multiple collectors.

**Remote management benefits**

**Key benefits of remote management**

* Simplified setup and configuration via the Sumo Logic UI
* Tag-based collector grouping for efficient data collection
* Centralized configuration using source templates
* No server access required after installation
* Faster time to value and reduced manual errors
* **Simplified setup and configuration**. Manage collectors directly from the Sumo Logic UI.
* **Tag-based grouping**. Efficiently organize and group collectors using tags.
* **Centralized configuration**. Manage data configurations for multiple collectors in one place.
* **No server access required**. Once installed, no direct server access is needed.
* **Improved efficiency**. Achieve faster time to value and reduce manual errors.

**Common use cases**

* Grouping collectors by environment (for example, production, staging)
* Expanding data collection for new services with minimal effort
* Simplifying migration from legacy monitoring solutions
* Monitoring error logs across multiple Apache servers
* **Environment grouping**. Organize collectors by environment, such as production or staging.
* **Data collection expansion**. Quickly scale data collection for new services.
* **Legacy migration**. Simplify transitions from legacy monitoring solutions.
* **Centralized log monitoring**. Monitor error logs across multiple Apache servers.

Use our OpenTelemetry Collector remote management (OTRM) source template processing rules to filter and mask data sent to Sumo Logic from OpenTelemetry Collector. The collector itself is remotely managed by Sumo Logic.
Use OpenTelemetry Collector remote management (OTRM) source template processing rules to filter and mask data sent from the OpenTelemetry Collector to Sumo Logic. The collector itself is remotely managed by Sumo Logic.

Processing rules allow you to define conditions and actions for transforming or filtering data within the OpenTelemetry Collector. With remote management, you can:

* Apply rules at the collector level for specific data sources.
* Enhance data processing by adding metadata, filtering unwanted logs, or standardizing formats.
* Manage rules centrally through source templates, ensuring consistency across multiple collectors.

To configure processing rules, navigate to the remote management section in the Sumo Logic UI, select the desired source template, and define the rules under the processing section.
