The Network Observability Operator provides the `FlowCollector` API, which is instantiated at installation and configured to reconcile the `eBPF agent`, the `flowlogs-pipeline`, and the `netobserv-plugin` components. Only a single `FlowCollector` per cluster is supported.

The `eBPF agent` runs on each cluster node with some privileges to collect network flows. The `flowlogs-pipeline` receives the network flows data and enriches the data with Kubernetes identifiers. If you are using Loki, the `flowlogs-pipeline` sends flow logs data to Loki for storing and indexing. The `netobserv-plugin`, which is a dynamic {product-title} web console plugin, queries Loki to fetch network flows data. Cluster-admins can view the data in the web console.

If you do not use Loki, you can generate metrics with Prometheus. Those metrics and their related dashboards are accessible in the web console. For more information, see "Network Observability without Loki".
