How are you running SigNoz? When you run our docker or helm deployment there would be signoz-otel-collector which is responsible for writing the trace (along with metric and log) data in required format. Are you trying to write spans to db through other means?

Hey @Srikanth Chekuri I'm writing data to the ClickHouse using a job which is receiving spans from opentelemetry collector. So I'm storing spans individually. Can you share the format in which I can write the spans to the ClickHouse DB?

You should instead send data to SigNoz collector

That's a lot of work and then the setup will be Signoz dependent (I just want to make platform independent). Currently I'm using Opentelemetry Collector which sends the spans and those spans are stored in the database separately. If someone wants to use the Signoz UI only then is there any way?

and those spans are stored in the database separately.

What database are you storing them?

Clickhouse

We are not a UI project. You will have a very hard time just using the SigNoz UI because there is always work that is going on. The schema evolves over time. SigNoz otel collector is just another distribution of OpenTelemetry collector that is maintained by us with our own schema and certain changes. It's virtually not possible to use just UI.

Hi @Mohammad Arshad I think I have run into the same problem. I do not want to be SigNoz dependent and would like store all the data in my database and connect some UI only. Do you have any news on this, please?

Hey Yes, I am using grafana v10 for it. Grafana needs some specific fields which you can check here https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/main/packages/grafana-data/src/types/trace.ts Doc: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/explore/trace-integration/ Picture for the traces at my local now Please do let me know if you need more help around it,

Thank you very much! I will take a look at it and maybe follow with questions later🙏
