hey, We have some applications that are not instrumented but they generate metrics for promoethus. Is there a way to send those metrics to signoz and create dashboards from them?

yes @Salman - you can do this by enabling prometheus receiver in otel collector and point that to endpoint where prometheus metrics are exposed - https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/send-metrics/#enable-a-prometheus-receiver

thank you @Pranay. Does it require us running a promoetheus server?

What do you mean by this? How do they expose metrics if they are not instrumented?

@Srikanth Chekuri I think he means these applications use prometheus exporters to generate metrics
