Hi, can SigNoz also be used for tracking business metrics, or only APM? ( sorry, hope this is the right channel to ask such a question )

what is the source of business metrics? If your applications emit business metrics, you can use otel SDKs to create them and you can plot them in signoz

thanks for your reply. we are currently emiting DataDog events from our Rails application and our metrics are in DataDog, and we’d like to start emitting events so that we can build dashboards in SigNoz. What kind of SDK would we need? We were looking at OpenTelemetry documentation for SigNoz

I see the docs for ruby not updated with metrics sdk https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/ruby/#status-and-releases but the PR is merged https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ruby/pull/1108. You might have to dig deeper in opentelemetry ruby community or repo for examples

ok thanks. so basically I should be using OpenTelemetry to send Business Metrics to SigNoz, but there is no documentation and the documentation says that it’s not implemented, yet the feature has just been merged. Am I understanding this correctly?
