If you're using the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector, another distribution of the Collector, or the :ref:`upstream Collector <using-upstream-otel>` and want to ensure Related Content in Splunk Observability Cloud behaves correctly, verify that the SignalFx exporter is included in your configuration. This exporter aggregates the metrics from the ``hostmetrics`` receiver and must be enabled for the ``metrics`` and ``traces`` pipelines.
