Install ServiceWatch Agent
Users can install the ServiceWatch Agent on a Bare Metal Server to collect custom metrics and logs.
Reference
Collecting custom metrics/logs via the ServiceWatch Agent is currently available only on Samsung Cloud Platform For Enterprise. It will also be available in other offerings in the future.
Caution
Collecting metrics through the ServiceWatch Agent is classified as custom metrics and, unlike the default collected metrics, incurs charges; therefore, it is recommended to remove or disable unnecessary metric collection settings.
ServiceWatch Agent
On a Bare Metal Server, the agents that need to be installed to collect ServiceWatch’s custom metrics and logs can be divided into two main types. It is a Prometheus Exporter and Open Telemetry Collector.
| Category | Detailed description | |
|---|---|---|
| Prometheus Exporter | Provide 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 exports it to multiple backends (e.g., Prometheus, Jaeger, Elasticsearch, etc.)
