The only reason why I burn time with Signoz is because DD is too expensive an DD acts like a virus. Signoz might be great at some day - but until that day you do a workaround for a workaround and then you noticed - after 3 months not updating - that "something" else is broken. I am using it as nice access to log files - collected by 4-5 k8s clusters on application only containers. Simple go/no go custom metrics didn't work (at last I got only garbage on the UI). I didn't even try to jump into alerts. It can't keep up with DDog. The DDog boards are awesome!

@Harald Fielker all sorts of metrics should work. I agree we do not have a good documentation to using metrics but most of it is similar to prometheus ecosystem. Can you give me an example of custom metrics you tried? I will try to help to write a query for plot the right chart

I did a PR for one of the JS examples quit a time ago
