November 2025: Delivered configurable clobber mechanisms to safely replace existing Sumologic collectors during installation, across core collector and packaging layers. Implemented a unified --enable-clobber flag in otelcol-config with tests and changelog; introduced minor bug fixes in clobber.go and updated related flag definitions. Extended packaging to support clobber on Unix and Windows install scripts, with comprehensive cross-environment tests and CI workflow triggers. Result: smoother upgrades, reduced manual steps, and more reliable deployments across on-prem and cloud environments.
