*Hosted Collectors* allow you to send data to Sumo Logic without deploying an agent. We host the Collector and its Sources on our end, in AWS — no need to install it on a local system in your deployment.

With a single Hosted Collector, you can create and configure Sources to collect data from any number of Sources, for example:

* Cloud-to-Cloud collection from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and more SaaS tools
* Send data directly to a Sumo endpoint using your custom collection method

Data collection flow for S3 buckets and HTTP requests:<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/send-data/team-built-hosted-diagram.png')} alt="Data flow diagram showing S3 data flow to Sumo Logic through a hosted collector" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="800" />

Just as Installed Collectors, you can monitor the activity of Hosted Collectors using the Status tab.

:::note
The maximum number of Collectors allowed per organization is 10,000.
