Meteor is a plugin driven agent for collecting metadata. Meteor has plugins to source metadata from a variety of data stores, services and message queues. It also has sink plugins to send metadata to variety of third party APIs and catalog services.
- No Dependency: Written in Go. It compiles into a single binary with no external dependency.
- Extensible: Plugin system allows new sources and sinks to be easily added.
- Ecosystem: Extract metadata for many popular services with a wide number of service plugins.
- Customizable: Add your own processors and sinks to suit your many use cases.
- Runtime: Meteor can run inside VMs or containers with minimal memory footprint.

Install Meteor on macOS, Windows, Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and on any machine.
Download the appropriate version for your platform from releases page. Once downloaded, the binary can be run from anywhere.
You don’t need to install it into a global location. This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don’t have a privileged account.
Ideally, you should install it somewhere in your PATH for easy use. /usr/local/bin is the most probable location.
