Changes Made
✅ Custom Metrics from Applications
✅ Kubernetes Prometheus Receiver Configuration
✅ Document Structure Similar to Traces Documentation
✅ Metrics Explorer Section
✅ Additional Improvements
Before vs After
Before: The documentation only covered OpenTelemetry Collector configuration and lacked comprehensive coverage of custom metrics, Kubernetes specifics, and viewing metrics in SigNoz.
After: The documentation now provides a complete guide covering all methods to send metrics to SigNoz Cloud, includes Kubernetes-specific configurations, and provides detailed guidance on viewing and troubleshooting metrics.
Testing
This improvement makes the metrics documentation much more comprehensive and user-friendly, addressing all the points raised in the original feedback.
