Using SigNoz as Frontend for OpenTelemetry Collector
TLDR Michael asks if SigNoz can work as frontend for an existing OpenTelemetry collector. vishal-signoz explains that SigNoz otel collector is needed, but the user can export current collector data to SigNoz otel collector for use.

So SigNoz otel collector is *needed*. You can use export from your already working open telelemtry collector to signoz otel collector and keep using SigNoz.

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 09:41:19 UTCHello, I have a question. Can Signoz be used only as a frontend for an already working open telelemtry collector ? I am running otel and exporting to Jaeger but can't figure out a good observability frontend so thought about signoz so basically Signoz minus the custom otel collector
