02/13/2023, 4:12 PMYes, signoz otel collector is on top of otel “contrib” repo.
Btw what’s your use case for sending to signoz and datadog using signoz otel collector?

02/13/2023, 4:12 PMI'm trying to migrate our app from Datadog to an OTEL based solution that we could deploy ourselves
but until we are fully set up with an alternative, I want to send the data to DD too since we rely on that for troubleshooting the app right now

02/13/2023, 4:15 PMthanks! I am wondering how to view metrics with SignOz. I don't see a section for metrics on the left hand panel.

02/13/2023, 4:16 PMYou can view the metrics on the dashboards page.
dashboards -> new dashboard -> new panel -> you will be able to query your metrics.

02/13/2023, 4:16 PMoh, okay
one final Q: can signoz correlate log entries with traces based on the trace/span IDs (once parsed correctly)?

02/13/2023, 4:20 PMOnce you parse the traceId, spanId in your logs you will be able to filter them using the filters available.
But use cases likes going from logs to traces using the UI is currently in roadmap. https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/issues/1799

02/13/2023, 4:20 PMgotcha, thank you! I'll subscribe to that issue.
what I'm looking for mostly is the ability to see the related logs from the trace view
DD has this
