Hello! I'm having some issues in sending metrics to Signoz Cloud, the prometheus instance is able to collect metrics from otel-collector and a custom job, but the collector isn't sending these metrics to signoz cloud.

Please share more details. What is the config? Do you see any errors? Did you confirm the collection is working?

Thanks for the help Srikanth, it's resolved now. I actually created a new ingestion key and was using it instead of the default token provided to me. It's working only with the default one.

@Nishchay Veer can you provide more detail about what you’re trying to do ? Ideally you should be able to send data with a new ingestion key. cc: @Vibhu Pandey

okay so instead of installing open telemetry binary as an agent as mentioned here https://prepared-warthog.in.signoz.cloud/get-started/infrastructure-monitoring , I tried to set it up as a docker container via docker-compose and mounted my config.yaml to container's config along with my prometheus instance to enable a prometheus receiver to collect metrics.

services:
  otel-collector:
    image: otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:latest
    container_name: otel-collector
    command: [ "--config=/etc/otel-collector-config.yaml" ]
    volumes:
      - ./otel-local-collector.yaml:/etc/otel-collector-config.yaml
    ports:
      - "4317:4317" # OTLP gRPC receiver
      - "4318:4318" # OTLP http receiver
      - "8888:8888" # Prometheus metrics exposed by the collector
      - "8889:8889" # Prometheus exporter metrics
    networks:
      - monitoring
    restart: unless-stopped

  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus:latest
    container_name: prometheus
    command:
      - '--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml'
      - '--storage.tsdb.path=/prometheus'
      - '--web.console.libraries=/etc/prometheus/console_libraries'
      - '--web.console.templates=/etc/prometheus/consoles'
      - '--web.enable-lifecycle'
    ports:
      - "9090:9090"
    volumes:
      - ./prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
      - prometheus_data:/prometheus
    depends_on:
      - otel-collector
    networks:
      - monitoring
    restart: unless-stopped

networks:
  monitoring:
    name: monitoring-network
    driver: bridge

volumes:
  prometheus_data:

But it wasn't working. So I'm not sure whether it's possible with docker container
