Use [Fleet View](https://app.datadoghq.com/fleet) to gain insight into observability gaps on your hosts, outdated Agents or OTel Collectors, and Agents with integration issues.

For each Datadog Agent, you can see:

- The Agent version
- Whether the Agent has any unconfigured or misconfigured integrations
- The services that the Agent is monitoring
- The Agent's Remote Configuration status
- The products that are enabled on the Agent
- Agent Audit Trail events including configuration changes, upgrades, and flares

For each OTel Collector, you can see:

- The Collector version
- The distribution of the Collector
- The configuration YAML of the Collector
- Pipeline visualization of the Collector

## Prerequisites{% #prerequisites %}

- Configuration view is enabled by default for Agents and OTel Collectors with version 7.47.0 and later. To enable it manually for older versions, set `inventories_configuration_enabled` to `true` in your [Agent configuration file](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/configuration/agent-configuration-files.md), or use the `DD_INVENTORIES_CONFIGURATION_ENABLED` environment variable.
- To enable the upstream OTel Collector configuration view, set the [Datadog Extension](https://docs.datadoghq.com/opentelemetry/integrations/datadog_extension.md#setup) in your collector configuration file.
- Agent integration configuration is enabled by default in Agent version 7.49.0 or later. To enable it manually on older versions, set `inventories_checks_configuration_enabled` to `true` in your [Agent configuration file](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/configuration/agent-configuration-files.md), or use the `DD_INVENTORIES_CHECKS_CONFIGURATION_ENABLED` environment variable.

## Examine a Datadog Agent or OpenTelemetry Collector{% #examine-a-datadog-agent-or-opentelemetry-collector %}

Select a Datadog Agent or OTel Collector to view its configuration, connected integrations, audit events, and a support tab for sending a remote flare.

## Visualize an OTel Collector pipeline{% #visualize-an-otel-collector-pipeline %}

The Pipeline Visualization toggle in the Configurations tab of an OTel Collector provides a pipeline view of the Collector. Use Pipeline Visualization to:

- Validate telemetry routing between configured OTel Collector components.
- Spot unexpected data drops along the OTel Collector pipeline.
- Inspect specific component configuration YAML snippets by hovering over any component.

## View Agent Audit Trail events{% #view-agent-audit-trail-events %}

The Audit Events tab displays Audit Trail events associated with the selected Agent. Use this tab to:

- Identify configuration changes, API key updates, installs, upgrades, and support flares
- Determine when and where changes were made

Audit Trail event visibility depends on your plan. When Audit Trail is enabled in your organization, you can view Agent events for up to 90 days based on your Audit Trail retention settings. If Audit Trail is not enabled in your organization, you can view the past 24 hours of events.

## Send a remote flare{% #send-a-remote-flare %}

You can send a flare from the Datadog Agent or DDOT Collector after enabling Remote Configuration on the Agent. For instructions, see [Send a flare from the Datadog site](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/troubleshooting/send_a_flare.md#send-a-flare-from-the-datadog-site).

When you contact Datadog Support with Remote Configuration enabled, the Support team may initiate a flare from your environment to help resolve your issue faster.
