SigNoz Storage Backends and Infra Metrics Integration

TLDR Sibaprasad inquired about storage backends supported by SigNoz and infra metrics integration. Pranay informed that ClickHouse is the main datastore, with S3 for longer term retention and provided links for infra metrics integration.

Hello Team, Got a chance to try out SigNoz last week and I must say had a pretty good experience. The connivance of having metrics, logs and trace in a single dashboard with correlation among them make it really really useful for any king of debugging. I also came to know SigNoz supports custom metrics integration which is icing on the cake.
Few questions that I am looking for an answer:
--> What are the storage backends supported by SigNoz at the moment.
--> Is there a way we can get infra metrics on SigNoz dashboard.
If you can help. Thanks

• We use ClickHouse as the main datastore and you can also retain data in S3
• Yes, should be simple to get infra metrics - check https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/send-metrics/
• We also have prebuilt dashboards for infrastructure metrics - https://github.com/SigNoz/dashboards

Any plan of integrating a more cost effective solution like block or object storage backend?

Sibaprasad You can actually configure s3 for longer term retention - https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/retention-period/#configuring-cold-storage---amazon-s3
