:wave: , What do you specifically need help with? Did you read the installation docs <https://signoz.io/docs/install/> , <https://signoz.io/docs/operate/>?

<@U03PU6M7TCN> If you install SigNoz in an independent VM or K8s cluster, it works as central destination to all metrics and traces. All other vms and clusters can send data to signoz

and as <@U01NT95GV8B> mentioned, please go through the link to set up signoz and feel free to ask more questions on what your use case is

<@U01HWQ1RTC2> I have installed signoz  on one of VM . Now i want to pass the data of other application which are running on other VM .

can you please help me with that  ? <@U01HWQ1RTC2>

<@U03PU6M7TCN> Which language/frameworks are your application in?

You should be able to specify IP of VM in which SigNoz is installed - while you are instrumenting your application

i installed signoz in one VM and i found label ad instrumentation there , but i couldnt find how to add the application details

<@U03PU6M7TCN> did you follow any blog from signoz? You would need to add env variables in the run command like below
```OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT="&lt;IP of SigNoz&gt;:4317" \
OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES=service.name=&lt;service_name&gt; \
node -r ./tracing.js index.js```
and add a `tracing.js` which contains other initializations. Give below blog a read <https://signoz.io/blog/opentelemetry-express/>

can you please come on call and help us ?

would like to..let me check with our maintainers for some time availability

when i am installing any nodejs application on the same server in which signoz is installed , it is working perfectly . but when i try to trace the data from other VM nodejs application , it was not working

```OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT="&lt;IP of SigNoz&gt;:4317"```
you need to use IP of the machine in which signoz is hosted and open us port to receive traffic from the machine where your nodejs app is hosted

got it.. <@U02SS3ZAMKQ> <@U02NBMHMJ9L> please set up a time sometime tomorrow to help him configure nodejs service

<@U02SS3ZAMKQ> <@U02NBMHMJ9L> Please let us know when we can discuss about it .
