  • signoz

    SigNoz is an open-source observability platform native to OpenTelemetry with logs, traces and metrics in a single application. An open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. 🔥 🖥. 👉 Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool

  • As mentioned earlier, OpenTelemetry is a vendor-agnostic instrumentation library. So the telemetry data is portable. You can configure it to export in many different formats. A tool like SigNoz supports the default OTLP formats and is a perfect choice for sending your telemetry data. It also comes with a visualization layer where you can visualize charts like the popular RED metrics and distributed tracing with flame graphs and Gantt charts.
