Configuration

You can configure for SigNoz with different options.

If no configuration for an option is set, then the default value as described is applied.

Environment Variables for Configuration

When using SigNoz, there are various environment variables you can set to configure your SigNoz cluster.

Otel Collector supports multiple combination of options. Using the configuration file, you can pass receivers, processors, extensions, exporters and service as per your requirements. You can find the complete otel collector configuration in the OpenTelemetry documentation.

By default, SigNoz runs with this default Otel Collector configuration.
