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

Naveen Gnanavel · Answer

Let 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

< Prashant Shahi> Do we have any docs on how to set this up

Prashant Shahi · Answer

Hey < 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

Prashant Shahi · Answer

We have docs in benchmark repo on collecting `hostmetrics` from remote machine and forward to remote SigNoz Otel <https github com SigNoz benchmark tree main docker binary>

Prashant Shahi · Answer

We should be able follow those steps and send metrics to `<http localhost 4317 >` which would get forwarded to SigNoz For traces you would need to include the following in OtelCollector config `service pipelines` ``` traces receivers otlp processors batch exporters otlp ```
