@sarthak gupta Are you trying to send directly from Kafka topic to ClickHouse DB or you are sending from Kafka topic to otel collector to ClickHouse? Also, curious why are you trying ingest to Kafka? What's your use case?

Hi Pranay , actually initially i deployed signoz with it's default grpc endpoint otel receiver but what i observed when i instrumented one of high throuput microservices is when signoz cluster was down due to high cpu utilisation , the otel agent was continuously throwing that grpc error as was not able to make a connection and after 1,2 days i found service unhealthy so it was affecting the source application performance during signoz downtime , so after doing some research on opntelemetry, if found that we can also use kafka as a telemetry event receiver by configuring broker address and topic name in source application so that i can decouple the service directly with signoz and produce data in async mode into kafka which can be read by signoz to export to clickhouse .
mainly the use case is to fully prevent source application performance and downtime in case signoz is not up

If I understand correctly this is your flow you want to achieve otel_events(application) -> Kafka -> otel_collector -> clickhouse is what you are trying to acheive right ?
