Hey, thanks for writing. Our initial focus was on application monitoring - that is why docs are more oriented towards it. But I can understand you may find it tough to understand for infra metrics (CPU/Memory/Disk)

As of now, there are couple of ways to do this: 1. You can enable hostmetrics receiver in opentelemetry collector 2. You can use something like prometheus node exporter and enable prometheus receiver in opentelemetry collector

If you follow this for a VM setup, you should be able to get your host metrics - https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/send-metrics/#enable-a-spec...

If you are on k8s, check out this - https://signoz.io/docs/tutorial/kubernetes-infra-metrics/

If it is still confusing, do drop by in our slack community ( https://signoz.io/slack) We are quite active there and should be able to help you get started

Many thanks. I took notice of your prometheus mention and had also seen that peppered in the docs for both services (openT and SigN) as a way to gather data.

As time investment is a dangerous thing I didn't plop myself down for some R&D... But... thanks to your post I'll have another go at it and determine how to get it to hum.

Thanks again!
