have you set up custom metrics using prometheus already? Else would suggest to use opentelemetry metrics sdks to generate custom metrics

04/19/2022, 11:29 AMno, just implemented a simple setup as per https://github.com/SigNoz/distributed-tracing-go-grpc-sample

04/19/2022, 11:36 AMfor custom metrics in SigNoz one needs custom dashboards to view the data?

one can create custom dashboards and plot data using promQL. Soon we will be releasing autocomplete suggestions in the UI to help build query 🙂

04/19/2022, 11:51 AMDo you recommend installing signoz on the same k8 cluster as the traced services or on its own cluster?

independent cluster usually to keep blast radius away from your core business
