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, 4:13 PMbut 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, 4:17 PMone final Q: can signoz correlate log entries with traces based on the trace/span IDs (once parsed correctly)?
n
nitya-signoz
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

Alex Grönholm
02/13/2023, 4:21 PMwhat I'm looking for mostly is the ability to see the related logs from the trace view
