opentelemetry-erlang VS signoz

For Elixir, the OpenTelemetry library has everything we need to perform distributed tracing.

But... In any given Elixir project, when you create an src folder and start writing Erlang modules in there, they will be compiled and accessible to your Elixir application. See an example of that in OpenTelemetry - lib is where Elixir code lives, src is for Erlang.

You can use Uptrace to monitor routes/queries performance, errors, and partially logs (only Go at the moment and it is unofficial). Distributed tracing excels at finding the root cause and resolving issues in production. That is the future / present of any kind of monitoring and the potential is immense.

>Also, are there plans for an Elixir client?

Uptrace client is a just pre-configured distribution of OpenTelemetry so you try to configure OpenTelemetry https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-erlang . We will provide a pre-configured client for Elixir if there is an interest.

You should also check out SigNoz [1], we are an open-core alternative to DataDog - based natively on OpenTelemetry. We also have a cloud product if you don't want to host yourself

You might want to have a look at SigNoz [1] as well. We have also published some perf benchmark wrt Elastic & Loki [2] and have some cool features like logs pipeline for manipulating logs before ingestion

SigNoz maintainer here.

We also have traces, metrics and logs in a single application which makes correlation across them much easier. From what I can understand from Quickwit website, they use Grafana and Jaeger for UI.

Using user's private with no opt-out option is unethical.

If anyone is looking self-hosted for alternatives then they should try SigNoz: https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz

SigNoz is a great New Relic alternative that is open-source and provides three signals in a single pane of glass. You can monitor logs, metrics, and traces and correlate signals for better insights into application performance.

You need a backend to which you can send the collected data for monitoring and visualization. SigNoz is an OpenTelemetry-native APM that is well-suited for visualizing OpenTelemetry data.

Once the data is collected, it needs to be sent to a backend. That’s where SigNoz comes into the picture. SigNoz is an open-source OpenTelemetry-native APM that provides logs, metrics and traces under a single pane of glass.
