Installing ServiceWatch Agent
Users can install the ServiceWatch Agent on Bare Metal Server to collect custom metrics and logs.
Note
Custom metrics/logs collection via ServiceWatch Agent is currently available only on Samsung Cloud Platform For Enterprise. It will be provided in other offerings in the future.
Caution
Metrics collection via ServiceWatch Agent is classified as custom metrics and incurs charges, unlike default collected metrics. Therefore, it is recommended to remove or disable unnecessary metric collection settings.
ServiceWatch Agent
The agents that need to be installed on Bare Metal Server for ServiceWatch’s custom metrics and log collection can be broadly divided into two types: Prometheus Exporter and Open Telemetry Collector.
| Category | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Prometheus Exporter | Provides metrics of specific applications or services in a format that Prometheus can scrape
| |
| Open Telemetry Collector | Serves as a centralized collector that collects telemetry data such as metrics and logs from distributed systems, processes them (filtering, sampling, etc.), and sends them to multiple backends (e.g., Prometheus, Jaeger, Elasticsearch, etc.)
