is this something similar to what you are trying  <@U05980QCH8A> - <https://signoz.io/docs/monitor-http-endpoints/>

Okay, I followed the instructions and added the httpcheck receiver to otel-collector-config.yaml receiver section and services &gt; pipeline &gt; metrics recievers.

I did a docker-compose down and up -d but the metric isn’t being shown as a service?

Where can I find / test the metric? At traces?

You can open dashboard and add a graph panel plotted with http metrics.

Thanks! Still have to figure out a few things but this helps a lot.

btw; is it possible to give a body with a request?

As in, I need to get a authenticated request

It’s not possible to give a body with a request.
Here are the metrics which are available: <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/receiver/httpcheckreceiver/documentation.md>
