Odigos
What Odigos is
Odigos is self-hosted software for capturing live runtime activity so engineers, AI agents, and security teams can investigate production behavior without changing application code. It collects traces, metrics, logs, profiles, and function values, including evidence captured without an instrumentation release or redeploy. Odigos uses out-of-process eBPF capture; the company states that this uses under 1% CPU and adds effectively zero latency. RBAC and policy controls govern capture requests, workloads, and allowed data, while PII masking, attribute deletion, and sampling can shape values before export. Captured data is exported as OpenTelemetry to configured destinations, and Odigos can run alongside listed observability tools. It is described for Kubernetes, VMs, and bare metal, with Linux VM/cloud VM and bare metal tracing specified in plan details. The open-source plan costs nothing and includes community support. Enterprise pricing is custom; it includes a 14-day free trial, multi-cluster administration, and 24/7 premium support. Oracle database tracing is marked Coming Soon.
