Hey, thanks for writing. Our initial focus was on application monitoring - that is why docs are more oriented towards it. But I can understand you may find it tough to understand for infra metrics (CPU/Memory/Disk)
As of now, there are couple of ways to do this:
1. You can enable hostmetrics receiver in opentelemetry collector
2. You can use something like prometheus node exporter and enable prometheus receiver in opentelemetry collector
If it is still confusing, do drop by in our slack community ( https://signoz.io/slack) We are quite active there and should be able to help you get started
Many thanks. I took notice of your prometheus mention and had also seen that peppered in the docs for both services (openT and SigN) as a way to gather data.
As time investment is a dangerous thing I didn't plop myself down for some R&D... But... thanks to your post I'll have another go at it and determine how to get it to hum.

If you follow this for a VM setup, you should be able to get your host metrics - https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/send-metrics/#enable-a-spec...
