hey @User welcome to SigNoz community 👋 1. We don't have auth inbuilt in SigNoz now though it is in our roadmap and we have started work on this. some of our users add their auth layer in top - something like https://www.pomerium.com/ or auth based on IP tables 2. can you explain what's the use case for adding custom tags on a service? You can add custom tags in your traces via manual instrumentation which is supported in Otel - e.g. for Java - https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/java/manual/ 3. As of now we don't have grouping in service map. What is the number of services you are expecting ? Would be good if you can open an issue on this with some details , if there is interest in this from the community we can pick this up https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/issues/new/choose

Hi @User - thanks for the response. 1. We don't have auth inbuilt in SigNoz now though it is in our roadmap and we have started work on this. some of our users add their auth layer in top - something like https://www.pomerium.com/ or auth based on IP tables a. [Kumaran]: adding auth layer on top - do you refer something like, at Load Balancer or API gateway level. Right? 2. can you explain what's the use case for adding custom tags on a service? You can add custom tags in your traces via manual instrumentation which is supported in Otel - e.g. for Java - https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/java/manual/ a. [Kumaran]: My usecase is more like, I will have UAT and Prod Teams monitoring and tracing their clusters. All of them will use same SigNoz server. Also, I wanted UAT and Prod Team to add a tag - and identify their resources. Ensure ProdTeam can access only prod resources and not UAT resources. For that, in Jaeger, I add -Dotel.resource.attributes=service.name=my-service,my.tag=PROD i. Based on this my.tag - I differentiate them - and restrict access. b. [Kumaran]: In readme.md - seems there was a note about tag - https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/#signoz-vs-jaeger i. Please let me know, how to add a tag thru otel properties/envi variables? 3. As of now we don't have grouping in service map. What is the number of services you are expecting ? Would be good if you can open an issue on this with some details , if there is interest in this from the community we can pick this up https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/issues/new/choose a. Sure, added a feature request. https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/issues/872 4. New question, a. Where can i find API documentation for SigNoz? b. I need to send alerts to my Alerting system - thru webhooks. But seems Slack is current supported channel - may I know, how to push the same to my custom webhook? i. I cannot use Slack for my usecase - because, we already have an alerting system - and can be integrated thru webhook. ii. Seems https://github.com/SigNoz/alertmanager - supports webhook (prometheus alerts) - how can i configure the webhook configs, as a workaround - till Signoz supports Webhook? Thanks!

@User 1. https://medium.com/opentelemetry/securing-your-opentelemetry-collector-1a4f9fa5bd6f and https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/tree/main/config/configauth might help you set up auth at otel-collector. 2. Ideally we should have created tags from resource objects but right now it is not implemented. SigNoz gives the ability to filter and aggregate by tags (there are many other tags apart from that set in resource). But I don't think this will be available at application list page but should be there in the traces page. We plan to include this soon. Would be helpful if you could create an issue about this in our github repo. 3. Seems like an interesting feature. Would like to pick up in upcoming sprint

Thanks really awesome. Will create a bug to include filter and aggregate options for tags.
