ServiceWatch Agent Install
Users can install the ServiceWatch Agent on a Bare Metal Server to collect custom metrics and logs.
Reference
Custom metric/log collection via the ServiceWatch Agent is currently only available on Samsung Cloud Platform For Enterprise. It will be offered in other offerings in the future.
Caution
Since metric collection via ServiceWatch Agent is classified as custom metrics and incurs charges unlike the default collected metrics, it is recommended to remove or disable unnecessary metric collection settings.
ServiceWatch Agent
The agents that need to be installed on a Bare Metal Server for collecting ServiceWatch’s custom metrics and logs can be divided into two main types. It is Prometheus Exporter and Open Telemetry Collector.
| Category | Detailed description | |
|---|---|---|
| Prometheus Exporter | Provides metrics of a specific application or service in a format that Prometheus can scrape
| |
| Open Telemetry Collector | Acts as a centralized collector that gathers telemetry data such as metrics and logs from distributed systems, processes (filtering, sampling, etc.) it, and then exports it to various backends (e.g., Prometheus, Jaeger, Elasticsearch).
