02:13 PMI am currently using Apache Skywalker for tracing in my Python application. Now, I am interested in trying Signoz, as it offers a better user interface. Unfortunately, I encountered issues with its agent, OpenTelemetry, which is failing to run due to dependency conflicts.
My question is whether it is feasible to send traces from my existing agent, sw-python, to the Signoz server instead?

05:05 AMsw-python doesn’t support OTLP(opentelemetry format)We would suggest using opentelemetry format as it is industry open standard and will give you vendor flexibility.

06:08 AMIs it possible to use a separate virtualenv for opentelemetry and my app, and invoke it ?

02:27 PMI will conduct the testing and provide an update here if it is successful. Additionally, if you agree, I will submit a pull request with the modified files.
