Hey, is it possible to collect metrics from the same system - but allowing it to be seen across organizations? Lets say I have Org A which is currently receiving data, but Org B would also need to be able to see these. How would this be achievable?
s
Yes, but OpenObserve isolates data by organization, so Org B can't directly query metrics ingested into Org A. The usual options are: • Duplicate ingestion → send the same metrics to both Org A and Org B. • Shared org → ingest into a central org that both teams can access. If both orgs need independent dashboards/alerts, duplicating the metrics is probably the simplest approach.
k
Would I then have to setup another exporter within the otel-config.yaml ? (In this case its a linux server, for testing purposes)
s
Yes. If you're using the OTel Collector on the Linux server, you'd typically configure another exporter pointing to Org B
k
OK thanks, otel collector was installed by the install.sh script - Is there other options?
s
If it was installed via
install.sh
, you can update the existing
otel-config.yaml
to add another OpenObserve exporter for Org B.
