Is it possible to use ClickHouse Cloud instead of self-hosted?

[CaueP]

Hi there!

I want to migrate my self-hosted ClickHouse to a ClickHouse Cloud instance and in the SigNoz's external ClickHouse page it says Zookeeper is required, but on the SaaS it isn't needed because they use ClickHouse Keeper internally to manage the replications. Is it possible to make it work on the current version of SigNoz?

Another related question I have is if TCP protocol is the only one supported to write from the OTel collector and to read from query service. Just saw that it is harcoded here,

@prashant-shahi can you help here

@CaueP Currently, it would not be possible. ClickHouse Cloud mandates secure connection with clients, but it is not supported by SigNoz right now.

Thanks for raising this issue. I will bring this up with the team to discuss if we can give priority to it.

Meanwhile, you can still use external clickhouse (unsecure). You can know more about that here:

@prashant-shahi it would be awesome to have it prioritized because it helps a lot in managing Clickhouse infrastructure. Thanks for your reply.
