The de facto dashboard of observability: Grafana is the open-source frontend that turns the data stores you already run into interactive graphs. It does not store metrics itself; it connects to the data stores you already run and turns their contents into interactive dashboards. Supported sources number over 150 via plugins: Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Google Cloud Monitoring, and many more. Dashboards are built from a large library of panel types (time series, heatmaps, tables, gauges, logs) with template variables for reusable, parameterized views. Unified alerting evaluates rules against any connected data source, not just Prometheus, and routes notifications to Slack, PagerDuty, email, and other channels with grouping and silencing - unlike Prometheus Alertmanager, a single rule can combine a Loki log pattern, a PostgreSQL query result, and a CloudWatch metric. Dashboards serialize to JSON and data sources configure via provisioning files, so the entire observability setup can live in Git and deploy repeatably across environments. Explore mode adds ad-hoc querying outside dashboards, with split view for correlating a metric spike against the matching log lines, and access control spans organizations, teams, folder permissions, and OAuth, LDAP, and SAML integration. Written in Go and TypeScript, AGPL-licensed. Self-hosting gives you unlimited users, dashboards, and queries at flat hosting cost, without Grafana Cloud's usage-based pricing.

With 20,500+ GitHub stars and over 6,000 organizations running it in production — including a Fortune 100 company ingesting more than 4 PB per day — OpenObserve is the open-source observability platform that replaces your entire Datadog, Splunk, or ELK stack with a single Rust binary deploying in under two minutes. Apache Parquet columnar storage with zstd compression on S3-compatible object storage delivers 140x lower storage costs than Elasticsearch while providing better query performance on a quarter of the hardware. Ingest logs, metrics, and distributed traces via native OpenTelemetry OTLP endpoints with no vendor lock-in. Query logs and traces with standard SQL, metrics with SQL or PromQL — no proprietary query language to learn. The built-in dashboard builder offers 19 chart types including time-series graphs, heatmaps, gauges, tables, and top-K lists with drag-and-drop layout combining data from all signal types. Data pipelines process, enrich, redact, or normalize ingestion streams using Vector Remap Language for real-time transformations including PII redaction and logs-to-metrics conversion. Real User Monitoring captures frontend performance with session replay. The Service Catalog provides topology-based trace analysis with side-panel drill-downs into database queries and error details. Alerting supports real-time and scheduled rules with SQL and PromQL conditions. Native multi-tenancy isolates organizations and streams with complete data separation.

With over 31,000 GitHub stars and native OpenTelemetry support that eliminates vendor lock-in from day one, SigNoz delivers full-stack observability covering metrics, traces, and logs in a single pane of glass without the per-host pricing model of commercial APM platforms. The platform ingests telemetry data through the OpenTelemetry Collector, supporting auto-instrumentation for Java, Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby, PHP, and .NET applications with zero code changes required for basic tracing. ClickHouse serves as the columnar storage backend, providing fast aggregation queries over billions of spans and log lines with configurable retention policies and tiered storage. The distributed tracing view renders flame graphs and Gantt charts showing request flow across microservices with latency breakdowns, error rates, and p99 percentile calculations. Custom dashboards support PromQL and ClickHouse SQL queries with time-series charts, bar graphs, tables, and value widgets. The log management pipeline supports structured and unstructured logs with full-text search, log pipelines for parsing and enrichment, and correlation with traces via trace IDs. Alert rules can be configured on any metric or log query with notification channels including Slack, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, webhooks, and email. The exceptions monitoring module automatically groups and tracks application errors with stack traces, occurrence counts, and first-seen timestamps. Service maps visualize inter-service dependencies with real-time latency and error rate overlays. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed with an enterprise edition available.

Trusted by millions of engineers and deployed on over 80,000 GitHub stars worth of community confidence, Netdata delivers true real-time monitoring at per-second granularity — 10-60x faster than Prometheus, Datadog, or any conventional monitoring stack that averages away the transient anomalies lasting 2-10 seconds where most production incidents originate. A single installation command deploys the agent with zero configuration, automatically discovering every running process, container, systemd service, network connection, disk, and application on the host within seconds. Unsupervised machine learning trains multiple models per metric directly at the edge, detecting anomalies without thresholds, baselines, or manual tuning. The distributed Parent-Child architecture scales horizontally from a single Raspberry Pi to fleets exceeding 100,000 nodes while maintaining sub-2-second visualization latency and storing metrics at approximately 0.5 bytes per sample through tiered compression. Native network monitoring provides live topology maps, NetFlow and sFlow analytics, SNMP device polling across 200+ profiles, and trap handling — capabilities that typically require a separate NPM product. Hundreds of pre-configured alerts cover systems and applications out of the box, with AI-powered root cause analysis surfacing correlated metrics through natural language via MCP-compatible AI assistants. The agent supports Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Kubernetes, and Docker with eBPF-based kernel observability requiring no application instrumentation. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL v3+ licensed.

Trusted by thousands of organizations processing billions of time series data points and backed by 17,000+ GitHub stars, VictoriaMetrics delivers a monitoring and time series database that outperforms Prometheus by 16x on query speed while consuming 2.5x less disk space through its optimized compression and storage engine. The architecture supports both single-node deployments handling 10M+ active time series and a horizontally scalable cluster version with vminsert, vmstorage, and vmselect components providing multi-tenancy, replication, and independent namespace isolation. Data ingestion accepts both push protocols including InfluxDB line protocol, Graphite plaintext, OpenTSDB HTTP, CSV, and OpenTelemetry OTLP alongside pull-based Prometheus scraping and remote write, enabling drop-in replacement of existing monitoring stacks without reconfiguring exporters. MetricsQL extends standard PromQL with additional functions, subqueries, and implicit time range alignment while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing Prometheus alerts and Grafana dashboards. The vmalert component processes recording and alerting rules with Alertmanager integration, while vmbackup and vmrestore enable point-in-time snapshots to S3, GCS, and Azure Blob Storage. Stream aggregation operates as a StatsD alternative for pre-aggregating high-cardinality metrics before storage. NFS-compatible storage backends including Amazon EFS and Google Filestore allow shared persistent volumes across cluster nodes.

Instead of deploying proprietary background agents across dozens of target nodes, engineers rely on Apache HertzBeat to monitor real-time infrastructure health, metrics gathering, threshold alerting, and public status pages from a central operations platform. Operations teams can poll hundreds of target services without deploying proprietary background daemons, gathering performance data across Linux hosts, Kubernetes clusters, SQL databases, and network switches using native connection protocols. Engineers can define custom monitoring targets directly within the web dashboard by composing declarative YAML templates that specify polling intervals, parsing expressions, and metric extraction rules. The centralized alert engine processes inbound threshold events, suppresses cascading alert storms during maintenance windows, and dispatches actionable incident notifications to Discord channels, Slack rooms, Telegram groups, and webhook endpoints. Telemetry streams flow into interactive charts with customizable refresh cadences, enabling site reliability engineers to inspect latency waterfalls, correlate log spikes against CPU exhaustion, and track disk capacity trends over extended timeframes. Administrators can also publish real-time public status pages that inform external stakeholders about service availability, scheduled downtime, and ongoing incident resolutions.

ClickStack is an open-source observability platform that unifies logs, metrics, traces, session replays, and errors in one searchable interface, so engineers can move from an alert to the exact request that broke in minutes. Search uses an intuitive full-text and property syntax (for example level:err), with SQL available when a question needs full analytical power. Live tail streams fresh logs and traces as they arrive, and event deltas surface anomalies by comparing current behavior against earlier windows. Dashboards chart high-cardinality events without a complex query language, and alerts can be created in a few clicks from any search or chart. Session replays connect a user's browser experience to the backend traces and database queries behind it, giving full-stack visibility from click to query. Native JSON string querying handles nested payloads, and the schema-agnostic design works on top of an existing ClickHouse schema instead of forcing a new one. OpenTelemetry is supported out of the box, with SDKs and collectors for Kubernetes, JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, PHP, .NET, Elixir, and Rust. The all-in-one Docker image bundles the interface, ClickHouse, the OpenTelemetry Collector, and supporting services on port 8080, and a terminal CLI serves engineers who prefer the shell. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

HyperDX correlates logs, metrics, traces, session replays, and errors in a single interface so engineers can resolve production incidents in minutes instead of hours. Nearly 10,000 GitHub stars reflect its role as the integrated UI layer for the ClickStack blueprint endorsed by ClickHouse. The platform connects to any ClickHouse cluster as its storage backend, working with existing table structures without requiring data migration or proprietary ingestion formats. An intuitive Lucene-like search syntax supports full-text queries and property filtering like level:err or service.name:api without needing SQL, while native JSON string querying and event delta analysis surface anomalies in high-cardinality datasets. One-click cross-signal correlation lets you jump from a log line to its distributed trace, from a slow span to associated logs, or from a frontend session replay to the backend errors it triggered. The OpenTelemetry Collector accepts telemetry via OTLP on gRPC port 4317 and HTTP port 4318, supporting automatic instrumentation for Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, and browser applications. APM tracks HTTP request latency, database query duration, and external service calls with trace waterfall visualizations. Configurable alerts trigger via webhook, Slack, PagerDuty, or email when thresholds are breached. Deploys via Docker Compose with ClickHouse, MongoDB, Redis, and the OpenTelemetry Collector. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Created by Uber Technologies and graduated as the seventh CNCF top-level project in October 2019 with over 23,000 GitHub stars, Jaeger has become one of the most widely deployed open-source distributed tracing platforms, processing billions of spans per day in production environments at organizations including Uber, Red Hat, and Shopify. Version 2 rebuilt the platform on the OpenTelemetry Collector framework, inheriting its extensible pipeline architecture while implementing Jaeger-specific features as extensions and components, enabling seamless integration with the OpenTelemetry ecosystem through native OTLP protocol support. The platform stores traces in Cassandra 4.0+, Elasticsearch 7.x/8.x, OpenSearch 1.0+, ClickHouse, or the embedded Badger database for development setups. Three sampling strategies control trace volume: head-based sampling with constant, probabilistic, and rate-limiting modes, tail-based sampling using the OpenTelemetry Collector processor that evaluates complete traces before storage decisions, and adaptive sampling that dynamically adjusts probabilities based on observed traffic patterns. Service Performance Monitoring computes RED metrics directly from spans, displaying request rates, error rates, and latency percentiles in the Monitor tab with drill-down from aggregate service views to individual traces. The web UI provides trace search with multi-field filtering, trace detail views with span timeline visualization, trace comparison across services, and dependency graphs mapping service relationships from actual traffic. Deployment options range from a single all-in-one binary for development to distributed collector-ingester-query configurations with Kafka intermediate buffering for production scale.

When an alert fires on any of your Prometheus Alertmanagers, Karma shows it once, on one filterable dashboard, and lets you acknowledge or silence it from there. Identical alerts from different servers merge into one entry tagged with every server that saw it, HA pairs included. Groups follow the group_by settings of your Alertmanager routes, and shared labels and annotations collapse into a footer. Multi-grid mode gives each value of a label, or each Alertmanager, cluster, or receiver, its own grid, keeping production and staging apart. Configurable label colors make hosts and severities easy to spot. Optional history draws 24 hourly blocks per group from the Prometheus servers that fired it, and an inhibited alert's muted button lists whatever is suppressing it. One click acknowledges an alert with a short-lived silence, and the separate kthxbye daemon can keep extending it until the alert resolves. The silence modal creates, edits, and expires silences, and ticket IDs in comments can become links. A Dead Man's Switch check raises a visible error when the alerting pipeline goes quiet. Basic auth or a proxy's header identifies each user, silence ACLs stop one team from silencing another's alerts, and read-only mode disables silence management. Default filters open the view your team triages first, and light and dark themes follow the browser.

Define a service level objective in a few lines of YAML and Pyrra writes the Prometheus recording rules and multi-window burn rate alerts for it, then tracks the remaining error budget in a web interface. An objective can be an error ratio or a latency target, declared as a Kubernetes custom resource or as a plain file read from disk when running under Docker or as binaries. Grouping labels fan one definition out into an objective per route or handler. The objectives page lists each SLO with its window, target, availability, and remaining budget, sorted so the worst offenders sit on top; columns can be sorted or hidden, and a search box or a click on any label filters the list. Opening an objective highlights availability and error budget, plots the budget over time, and charts requests, errors, and duration with a time range picker and absolute or relative scales. Below the charts, a table shows the four generated alerts with their severities. Generated alerts carry a link back to the objective's page, and severities can be overridden in the spec. Queries go to Prometheus, Thanos, or Mimir, with basic auth, bearer tokens, or tenant IDs, and ready-made Grafana dashboards chart the same objectives.

Website analytics, uptime monitoring, and server status - three tools most teams run separately - combined in Tianji, an open-source observability platform. The analytics layer tracks page views, unique visitors, referrers, and UTM parameters with a lightweight cookie-less script, which keeps collection GDPR and CCPA friendly. The uptime monitor checks availability and latency on configurable intervals, accepts passively reported results, and publishes public status pages for incident communication. Server status agents report CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics with threshold-based alerts, and notifications route through webhooks, Slack, Telegram, and other channels with noise control. It also includes anonymous telemetry for tracking deployments of your own open-source projects, surveys, waitlists, team collaboration, and an OpenAPI interface for integrations and exports. The consolidation is the point: traffic analytics, uptime checks, and server metrics share one interface and one alerting layer, so diagnosing an incident does not mean hopping between Google Analytics, Uptime Kuma, and Prometheus - and the built-in public status pages replace a separate paid Statuspage-style subscription. Because collection uses no cookies with IP truncation and aggregation by default, basic traffic measurement requires no consent banner. Built in TypeScript under the Apache 2.0 license and inspired by Umami and Uptime Kuma, it is deliberately right-sized for independent developers and small SaaS teams whose monitoring needs are real but lightweight.

With 7,400+ GitHub stars and a feature set that replaces seven separate SaaS subscriptions — Pingdom for monitoring, StatusPage.io for status pages, PagerDuty for on-call, Incident.io for incident management, Datadog for APM, Loggly for logs, and Sentry for error tracking — OneUptime delivers every tool your reliability team needs in a single open-source platform that is genuinely 100% open source under Apache 2.0 (not open-core). Uptime monitoring runs synthetic checks against websites, APIs, ports, SSL certificates, and DNS records from distributed global probes with configurable intervals and thresholds. Branded status pages publish automatically when monitors detect issues, notifying subscribers via email, SMS, webhook, or RSS without manual intervention during an outage. On-call scheduling routes alerts through escalation policies to the right engineer via phone call, SMS, push notification, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. The incident management workflow handles declaration, triage, communication, resolution, and post-mortem generation in a unified timeline. APM collects traces and metrics via native OpenTelemetry integration — no proprietary agents required — while log management provides full-text search and alerting. An AI agent continuously monitors telemetry data, identifies root causes, and opens GitHub pull requests with proposed fixes for review.
