Can SigNoz connect to clickhouse created separately on different instance and enable searching logs?
v
@Prashant Shahi Can confirm
p
yes, it is possible use SigNoz with different clickhouse - however you need to make sure the version is compatible with the one used with SigNoz by default.
enable searching logs?
how does enabling logs search co-relates with clickhouse being seperate?

We are planning to evaluate SigNoz for logs, metrics and traces as stated in the website... I understand SigNoz used clickhouse in the backend for storage. As there is team who already have clickhose+apache superset, if SigNoz can connect to external ClickHouse and enable querying the data stored, then superset can be decommissioned .. thats what I'm clarifying.
But I'm facing problem in installing the SigNoz. Its not a straight forward... may be documentation is incomplete? I followed the steps mentioned in the documentation.. But I still see the issue. I posted the same in #C01HWQ1R0BC channel

That is not possible with any logs data that you may have stored in custom schema. The data collection and storage has to be done via SigNoz OtelCollectors.

This outage looks like only for Azure cloud... I'm installing SigNoz in Amazon Cloud. Moreover, why installing docker locally will impact with this outage?
Hi @Prashant Shahi 1) Can SigNoz OtelCollector be used for writing data to ClickHouse which is installed Separately and exists 2) Can SigNoz Web able to search data ingested local ClickHouse and also external ClickHouse?
