opentelemetry-java VS signoz

After doing some research it appears this class references internal packages and therefore "makes it unusable for modern Java apps" (https://github.com/prometheus/client_java/issues/533 , https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/issues/4192)

For monitoring: If you want to go the open source route, the open telemetry ecosystem is booming. You could use the open telemetry java agent along with their collector, and then use Elastic APM, which could give you a good starting point. Here is a small example project I found on github that was fun to play around with and explore the capabilities of a setup like this: https://github.com/riferrei/otel-with-apache-pulsar

OpenTelemetry and Java Flight Recorder (JFR) cover most bases. Use the OpenTelemetry Java agent if you want auto-instrumentation or just the APIs if you want to do your own instrumentation.

opentelemetry-java - contains components for manual instrumentation as well as the API and SDK.

opentelemetry-java This repo is the main OpenTelemetry Java SDK and provides components for manual instrumentation. Top-level components include OpenTelemetry API, extensions, SDK, bridge layers for OpenTracing and OpenCensus.

SigNoz positions itself as an "open-source DataDog alternative". You can host it yourself or use the commercial cloud version.

Thanks for mentioning SigNoz. Totally agree that OpenTelemetry and open source should be the way forward here.

If anyone wants to check out SigNoz repo - https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz

PS: I am one of the maintainers at SigNoz

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

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.

Here'e our github repo if you want to check it out. https://github.com/signoz/signoz

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.
