Yes, this is usually done when core otel-collectors are run as agents in every node. Every application running in a node will send their trace and metrics data to the agent running in that machine (http://localhost:4317) and all the agents will have
otlp
exporter configured to forward the data to signoz's IP (say, a machine or cluster running signoz). Eg, core otel collector will have additional exporter config as
Copy code
exporters:
otlp:
endpoint: "<IP of machine hosting SigNoz>:4317"
insecure: true
SigNoz is an open-source APM. It helps developers monitor their applications & troubleshoot problems, an open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc.
