Hello everyone!

First off, I just found SigNoz a few days ago. I absolutely love it! My team is experimenting with the self-hosted option.

I'm very new to OTEL, and I'm wondering if there's a way to group my services using the "environments" option which appears to be in the UI.

Is this something I can set in the `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES` env var, or am I missing a fundamental configuration step for SigNoz?

Thanks in advance :heart:

&gt; Is this something I can set in the `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES` env var
Yes, set ``OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES=deployment.environment=dev,service.name=my-service`

Fantastic! Than you so much!

One last question - what sort of configuration is required to get the `Service Map` feature functioning?

I did see it working with the demo SigNoz application included in the docker compose, but my own services don't appear in the map.

They should be connected. If there are standalone services they won't show up in map.
