👋 Hi, i'm trying to setup signoz selfhosted with docker standalone and i can't figure out how to connect a second server to it. Is this only possible with docker swarm or kubernetes? Or did i just miss something in the docs.

Hi, what does "second sever" mean?

Well, i have multiple servers (devices). For all the servers i want to be able to see information about the host and get notifications if something like a harddisk fails in a software raid. Or a service stops running.

ah you mean the target of monitoring.

Nope I have not, I couldn't figure out where i should start with monitoring a second target while looking through the documentation

What type of servers are you planning to monitor?

What do you mean with "type"? I want to monitor multiple Ubuntu servers, some docker containers on them and a few vps'es. The problem that i'm stuck with is that i'm just unsure where to start. I found signoz a few hours ago after trying Netdata and Checkmk and wanted to try it out with a few servers attached to it.

Maybe you should start from here https://signoz.io/docs/introduction/

Alright, if i understand right Signoz works a bit like grafana + telegraf. Every server sends logs to the db and it's visualized by signoz This is the documentation that i was looking for. Thanks. https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/collecting_syslogs/ https://signoz.io/docs/tutorial/opentelemetry-binary-usage-in-virtual-machine/
