SigNoz is an open-source observability tool powered by OpenTelemetry for monitoring applications and infrastructure. It brings logs, metrics, traces, and exceptions together, with alerting and explorers for traces, logs, and metrics. Its OpenTelemetry-native approach does not require proprietary agents. The Query Builder supports aggregations, filters, and formulas across signal types; alerts can detect thresholds, anomalies, or Apdex-based conditions. Users can create dashboards combining metrics, logs, and trace data. SigNoz APM charts cover p99 latency, error rate, Apdex, and operations per second, with database and external-call monitoring. Distributed tracing provides flamegraph and Gantt-chart views for following requests across services. SigNoz uses ClickHouse for telemetry queries and storage, with hot and cold storage tiers. It is available in the cloud or self-hosted with Docker, Docker Swarm, or Kubernetes. Cloud offers new users 30-day access to all features. Self-hosted Community is free, but users manage infrastructure, storage, scaling, upgrades, and backups. Cloud Teams is 49.00 USD per month minimum, with usage included and additional signal charges listed.

Who it is for

SigNoz suits application and infrastructure teams that need to inspect logs, metrics, traces, and exceptions together. It offers cloud and self-hosted options, with self-hosted users responsible for operating the underlying setup.
