When you deploy flow collector, the Operator provides dashboards, metrics, and keeps flows accessible in the Grafana Loki log store. When a flow collector is deployed, new dashboards are available in the {product-title} console.

`flowlogs-pipeline` pods collect flows, enriches the collected flows, then send flows to the Loki storage.

`netobserv-plugin` pods create a visualization plugin for the {product-title} Console.

`netobserv-ebpf-agent` pods monitor network interfaces of the nodes to get flows and send them to `flowlogs-pipeline` pods.
