Hi Everyone, I have a question. I setup signoz using self hosted on AWS ec2. using below link. https://signoz.io/docs/install/linux/ Now when I am trying to setup Otel Collector using below link. https://signoz.io/docs/tutorial/opentelemetry-binary-usage-in-virtual-machine/ It’s failing. So, either Signoz collector or Otel collector can work at one time. Do I need to setup Otel collector on different Ec2 instance. ? Basically I want to achieve the Host metrics of Ec2 instance and Java based application logs in signoz. can anyone guide me why it’s failing and what wrong I am doing here. am I missing something or need to modify ?

I have a similar setup BUT in a local DC. Signoz should expose already a collector to ingest data in the default ports. The error probably is the fact that signoz and the standalone collector try to bind at the same port. The second collector, if you want infra should act as an infra agent actually, only needs to use de receivers that are local (like hostmetrics) and if you setup a receiver like otlp or something it would fail since unless you change the port is already binded in the other signoz one. For the app part you could export to the local signoz. that is what im doing.

I believe Docs not included proper steps and clarification about what steps we need to take and which one are mandatory. it’s not pretty clear documentation.

I agree. The documentation assumes, IMHO, certain knowledge of OpenTelemetry architectural design from the end user. And I think a little more "hands holding" is required. Example: Recommendations for seflthost, like at least a visual map of components like the ones in the log managment, but to be clear what is installed and how everything connect to each other.

I hope your issue is resolved now @Dharmendra Jha . Thanks for the help, Dante. On documentation improvement suggestion, could you elaborate more on what should be added or improved to make it more user friendly. Does something like this help ? https://signoz.io/docs/install/troubleshooting/#signoz-otel-collector-address-grid cc: @Nagesh Bansal
