SigNoz/signoz

SigNoz is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform that consolidates logs, metrics, traces, alerts, and dashboards for application, infrastructure, and AI systems. It supports self-hosted deployment alongside a managed cloud service and uses a single columnar database for high-cardinality telemetry.

Project overview

The platform allows teams to instrument once with open standards while providing correlated application, infrastructure, and LLM observability through a single columnar database.

Best for

Operations teams, developers, and enterprise teams who need to unify application, infrastructure, and AI observability into a single platform.
Teams seeking an OpenTelemetry-native system with predictable pricing and no per-host or user-seat licensing costs.

Key capabilities

Monitor service latency, error rate, throughput, Apdex, top endpoints, database calls, and external calls.
Ingest, search, aggregate, and correlate logs with traces and metrics using a visual query builder.
Build dashboards for application, infrastructure, and custom metrics using Query Builder, PromQL, or ClickHouse SQL.
Monitor Kubernetes clusters, pods, nodes, workloads, and host-level CPU, memory, disk, network, logs, and traces.
Trace LLM apps, RAG pipelines, prompts, tool calls, tokens, latency, and costs alongside application telemetry.
Follow requests across services with flamegraphs, waterfalls, span events, filters, and trace analytics.
Create funnels from traces to understand request-flow drop-offs, failed transitions, and systemic workflow issues.

Limitations and risks

Noz, the AI teammate, is available only on SigNoz Cloud and is not available in self-hosted deployments.
Self-hosting via Docker/Kubernetes/Linux requires infrastructure knowledge, unlike the trivial setup path of the managed cloud service.

Getting started

Deploy using Docker, Kubernetes, or Linux. Self-hosting requires infrastructure knowledge, making setup difficulty medium. Cloud setup is trivial by comparison.
