About SigNoz
SigNoz is an open source observability platform that brings traces, metrics and logs into one tool. It is built on OpenTelemetry, the common standard for collecting telemetry.
What it does
SigNoz collects application data from your services and shows it as service performance views, dashboards and alerts. You can follow a slow request from its trace to the related logs and metrics. It can run as a managed cloud service or on your own servers.
Key features
- Service views with latency and database call details
- Distributed trace viewer for large traces
- Logs search with trace correlation built in
- Alerts on metrics, logs and traces
- Dashboard templates for services, infrastructure and databases
Who it's for
Engineering teams that want an open alternative to large commercial APM suites, and teams that want to keep telemetry on their own infrastructure. Developers who already use OpenTelemetry will find the data model familiar.
Pricing and good to know
SigNoz Cloud uses usage-based pricing, and the self-hosted version runs on your own infrastructure. A free start option is listed on the site. If you self-host, plan storage and hosting for large trace volumes.
Highlights
- Service views with latency and database call details
- Trace viewer for traces with up to a million spans
- Logs search with trace correlation
- Threshold and anomaly alerts on any telemetry signal
- Self-hosted option for running on your own infrastructure
