Hey, thanks for writing. Our initial focus was on application monitoring - that is why docs are more oriented towards it. But I can understand you may find it tough to understand for infra metrics (CPU/Memory/Disk)
As of now, there are couple of ways to do this:
1. You can enable hostmetrics receiver in opentelemetry collector
2. You can use something like prometheus node exporter and enable prometheus receiver in opentelemetry collector
If you follow this for a VM setup, you should be able to get your host metrics - https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/send-metrics/#enable-a-specific-metric-receiver https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/send-metrics/#enable-a-spec...
If you are on k8s, check out this - https://signoz.io/docs/tutorial/kubernetes-infra-metrics/ https://signoz.io/docs/tutorial/kubernetes-infra-metrics/
If it is still confusing, do drop by in our slack community ( https://signoz.io/slack https://signoz.io/slack) We are quite active there and should be able to help you get started
- spaceman10 4y agoMany thanks. I took notice of your prometheus mention and had also seen that peppered in the docs for both services (openT and SigN) as a way to gather data. As time investment is a dangerous thing I didn't plop myself down for some R&D... But... thanks to your post I'll have another go at it and determine how to get it to hum. Thanks again!
- pranay01 4y agoAwesome! Do let us know if you face any issues, should be fairly simple to do. We are on slack at https://signoz.io/slack https://signoz.io/slack if you need any help
