cc: @Naveen Gnanavel Can you add some more context on what you are trying to do with this setup? Does the remote machine have an independent otel collector?

08/23/2022, 7:33 AMLet's say I have a BE service that is running on 4 machines and for each machine, I have configured otel to listen to tomcat and send metrics data. I will have a separate machine in which I installed Signoz for monitoring all 4 backend machines where I can configure up address for remote machine and port ( open telemetry is running)

Yeah, this should be possible. Some of our users run their monitoring in this way.

@Prashant Shahi Do we have any docs on how to set this up ?

08/23/2022, 7:58 AMHey @Naveen Gnanavel, you should be able to configure OtelCollector in your machine, which can collect the telemetry data from the same machine and forward to SigNoz OtelCollector running in remote machine.

receivers: [otlp]
processors: [batch]
