Other providers (custom)

Render can push service metrics to your OpenTelemetry-compatible endpoint, if that endpoint authenticates requests via an API key provided as a bearer token in an Authorization header.

If your provider's endpoint supports authentication via bearer token:

1. Consult your provider's documentation to obtain your OpenTelemetry endpoint and API key.

2. Specify Custom as your provider in the metrics stream creation dialog, then provide your endpoint and API key in the corresponding fields.

If your provider's endpoint requires a different authentication method:

1. Please submit a feature request to let us know about your provider's requirements.

2. You can spin up your own OpenTelemetry collector (such as the official vendor-agnostic implementation). Your collector's endpoint can receive metrics from Render, then transform and forward them to your provider using whatever authentication method it expects.
