08/03/2024, 12:26 AMYou might look at something like this: https://observiq.com/blog/monitoring-windows-events-with-opentelemetry
Signoz is ultimately an OTEL inspector. That's not a very fair generalization, but for someone brand new to it, I think it's helpful to think about SigNoz as the query language and visualization layer to a database that was populated by OTEL

08/03/2024, 5:56 PMThe high level architecture is this:
Any OTEL producer (APM metrics from your cloud app, logs, whatever. or even that article I sent you for producing OTEL data from windows events) ->[everything beoynd this point comes in the SigNoz stack but isn't necessarily created by the SigNoz team] SigNoz OTEL consumer (this is just a regular OTEL consumer/producer that takes OTEL events and stuffs them into the ClickHouse database) -> ClickHouse
Then the SigNoz frontend can query the database (ClickHouse) to draw pretty graphs and set up alerts, etc.

08/04/2024, 5:50 AMHere are the docs @Edryan Saltat - these should work for the self-hosted version of SigNoz. You'll have to modify the config file to include the windowseventlog receiver as mentioned by Eric and Nitya.

08/07/2024, 7:22 AMI guess one thing, would it be possible to also provide documentation for self-hosted setups, just like with the other pages? thank you smuch

08/07/2024, 7:27 AMThese should work for self-hosted setup as well with the only difference being that instead of creating a separated config.yaml file, you will have to update this file with the right set of receivers.
Will add a separate section for Self-Hosted version soon.
