Hi

I am using data-prepper with opensearch sink for trace-analytics pipeline. I’m wondering if it’s possible to configure metrics in same pipeline, if yes what’s the procedure and architecture?  
opensearch cluster: v2.3  
data-prepper: latest docker image  
otel-collector: v0.70.0

Also one more question: like, in other project, i’ve implemented metrics → prometheus → grafana pipeline, i want to migrate to opensearch & opensearch dashboards, what will be the difference in doing so?

Hi @divnoorsingh,

It is possible to use the same pipeline configuration for both trace analytics and metrics. You can add to your trace analytics pipeline configuration with something like the following

```auto
metricpipeline:
  source:
    otel_metrics_source:
      ssl: false
      port: 21892
  processor:
    - otel_metrics_raw_processor:
  sink:
    - opensearch:
        hosts: ["https://localhost:9200"]
        index: metrics_index
        username: "admin"
        password: "admin"
tracepipeline:
  source:
    otel_trace_source:
      port: 21890
      ssl: false
  ... remaining trace analytics processors and sink like you have configured already

```

Note that the `otel_metrics_source` and the `otel_trace_source` must be running on different ports, and you will just need to point your otel exporters to the correct endpoint and port.

Thanks for the reply. I think, i’m eventually on the right track for implementing the same. But one thing that i’m not sure of is there something like auto-instrumentation for emitting metrics on application side, similar to tracing, coz i don’t want to modify the code of different microservices at this point.
