SigNoz is an open-source, OpenTelemetry-native observability platform for your team and their AI agents.
Overview
SigNoz is an open-source observability platform built on OpenTelemetry. We’re building an enterprise-grade alternative to fragmented monitoring stacks, with logs, metrics, traces, alerts, and dashboards in one place. Fully managed SigNoz with a 30-day free trial, no credit card required, usage-based pricing that starts at $49, and regional data hosting. Enterprise Cloud, BYOC, or Enterprise Self-Hosted with compliance, support, custom retention, RBAC, ingestion controls, data residency, and region selection. Free open-source SigNoz that runs in your own infrastructure. Deploy with Docker, Kubernetes, or Linux and keep full control of your data plane. SigNoz helps teams debug production issues faster by connecting logs, metrics, traces, alerts, dashboards, exceptions, and agent-native workflows in one place. Monitor service latency, error rate, throughput, Apdex, top endpoints, database calls, and external calls.

What can you monitor?
SigNoz helps teams debug production issues faster by connecting logs, metrics, traces, alerts, dashboards, exceptions, and agent-native workflows in one place.
APM Overview
Monitor service latency, error rate, throughput, Apdex, top endpoints, database calls, and external calls.
Learn more: APM documentation
Log Management
Ingest, search, aggregate, and correlate logs with traces and metrics using a visual query builder.
Learn more: Log management documentation
Metrics and Dashboards
Build dashboards for application, infrastructure, and custom metrics using Query Builder, PromQL, or ClickHouse SQL.
Learn more: Metrics documentation
Infrastructure Monitoring
Monitor Kubernetes clusters, pods, nodes, workloads, and host-level CPU, memory, disk, network, logs, and traces.
Learn more: Infrastructure monitoring documentation
LLM and AI Observability
Trace LLM apps, RAG pipelines, prompts, tool calls, tokens, latency, and costs alongside application and infrastructure telemetry.
Learn more: LLM observability documentation
Agent-Native Observability and MCP
Use the SigNoz MCP server to bring telemetry into coding agents, or use Noz inside SigNoz to investigate incidents, tune alerts, and build dashboards with production context. Noz is available only on SigNoz Cloud.

Distributed Tracing
Follow requests across services with flamegraphs, waterfalls, span events, filters, and trace analytics.
Learn more: Distributed tracing documentation
Trace Funnels
Create funnels from traces to understand request-flow drop-offs, failed transitions, and systemic workflow issues.
Learn more: Trace funnels documentation
Also monitor: exceptions, alerts, external APIs, and integrations for OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Kubernetes, cloud providers, language SDKs, application frameworks, databases, and LLM tools.
Why teams use SigNoz
- OpenTelemetry-native Instrument once with open standards and keep ownership of your telemetry.
- Correlated signals Move from service charts to traces, logs, infra metrics, and exceptions without switching tools.
- Single columnar database Built for high-cardinality, high-volume observability workloads.
- Predictable pricing No per-host pricing, no user-seat pricing, and no special pricing for custom metrics.
- Enterprise ready SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance, RBAC, ingestion controls, custom retention, support, BYOC, and self-hosting.
Getting started
Start on Cloud
Create a managed SigNoz workspace and get your first dashboard without running observability infrastructure.
Self-host SigNoz
Run SigNoz in your own infrastructure with Foundry, Docker, Kubernetes, or Linux.
Foundry · Docker · Kubernetes · Linux
Send data
Instrument applications and infrastructure with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, language SDKs, and integrations.

Comparisons to familiar tools
SigNoz is often adopted by teams moving from a stack of single-purpose tools or commercial platforms with unpredictable pricing.
Prometheus Good if you just need metrics. SigNoz keeps metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts together so teams can debug with correlated context.
Jaeger Jaeger only does distributed tracing. SigNoz adds metrics, logs, trace analytics, dashboards, alerts, exceptions, and trace-to-log workflows.
Elastic SigNoz uses columnar database for efficient observability analytics and high-cardinality log workloads, with 50% lower resource requirement compared to Elastic during ingestion. Check the detailed study.
Loki In the linked benchmark, SigNoz indexed all keys in the test setup, while Loki hit max stream errors when more labels were added. Check the detailed study.
