DataBahn.ai Unveils Smart Agent to Unify Security and Observability Telemetry

Enhanced unified agent with a hybrid deployment model reduces agent sprawl, improves visibility, and streamlines enterprise data pipelines 

DataBahn.ai, creators of a next-generation, security-first data pipeline platform built to simplify enterprise workload management, announced the launch of its Smart Agent for endpoint telemetry collection. The new agent delivers a unified, cross-functional approach to collecting, processing and routing telemetry across security and observability teams while reducing the complexity, cost and risk of managing multiple tool-specific agents.

The release introduces a highly flexible deployment model, allowing customers to install a lightweight endpoint agent on key systems or choose DataBahn’s innovative “phantom collector” for agentless collection from environments where installing agents may be impractical. A hybrid setup is also supported, enabling centralized data collection with minimal endpoint footprint.

Unlike traditional endpoint agents that are tightly coupled to a specific vendor or platform, the DataBahn Smart Agent for endpoint telemetry collection supports selective log collection, high-performance environments, and integration with a wide range of downstream tools. The agent is designed to replace overlapping agents used by security operations centers, IT teams and data engineers, improving performance and streamlining operations across enterprise infrastructure.

“Enterprise teams are overwhelmed by agent sprawl, rising compute costs, and fragmented visibility,” said Aditya Sundararam, chief product officer at DataBahn. “Smart Agent reimagines data collection by combining the best of agent-based and agentless approaches into a single, flexible footprint. It delivers real-time telemetry control, simplifies deployment, and empowers security and observability teams with faster insights, fewer blind spots and seamless cross-team collaboration.”

Key capabilities of the Smart Agent for endpoint telemetry collection include:

• Unified telemetry collection for multiple teams and tools
• Configurable data routing to support both security and observability pipelines
• Reduced operational overhead and agent management complexity
• Agentless data collection for remote or constrained environments

By decoupling data collection from downstream analytics platforms, Smart Agent gives enterprises control over how telemetry is captured, enriched and distributed, without forcing them into proprietary ecosystems.

“Today’s enterprises don’t need another lock-in – they need adaptability by design,” said Sundararam. “While others market ‘unified agents’ that tie you to a single stack, we built ours to work across the diverse, multi-platform ecosystems that real-world teams operate in. It’s about giving customers the flexibility, control and the future readiness that they actually need.”
