Alternatives to HyperDX
Investigate application failures using linked logs, traces and related telemetry. The listings below can replace it for an important use case. Each note says what changes if you switch.
The original
HyperDX
Investigate application failures using linked logs, traces and related telemetry.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as HyperDX.
SigNoz
Open-source full-stack observability platform built on OpenTelemetry and ClickHouse.
SigNoz combines APM, logs, traces and metrics on OpenTelemetry and ClickHouse, but running its own ClickHouse stack adds operational overhead.
OpenObserve
Collect logs, metrics and traces in a unified observability application.
OpenObserve collects logs, metrics and traces in one self-hosted application under AGPL-3.0, with hosted services and enterprise features priced separately.
Uptrace
Explore traces, metrics and logs collected through OpenTelemetry.
Uptrace provides linked traces, metrics and logs collected through OpenTelemetry, licensed AGPL-3.0 rather than MIT, and needs a supported storage setup.
Coroot
Investigate application behavior using automatically collected observability data.
Coroot uses eBPF-based collection to gather metrics and traces automatically, reducing instrumentation work, but deep collection needs compatible Linux hosts and privileges.
OneUptime
An open-source platform for uptime monitoring, status pages, incidents, on-call alerting and observability.
OneUptime is Apache-2.0 and bundles logs, metrics and traces with uptime monitoring, status pages and on-call, making it a larger platform to run.
Also worth comparing
These listings name HyperDX as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
Apache SkyWalking
Observe distributed applications through traces, metrics and related service information.
HyperDX links logs, traces and related telemetry for debugging under the MIT licence, with freemium pricing, and still requires instrumentation and supporting data storage.
Elastic Stack
Elasticsearch, Logstash, Beats and Kibana combined for collecting, searching and visualizing logs and other data.
HyperDX is MIT-licensed and links logs with traces for debugging application failures, self-hostable but requiring instrumentation and supporting data storage.
Jaeger
Follow requests across services to investigate distributed-system latency.
HyperDX links traces with logs and related telemetry for debugging production failures, using freemium pricing and requiring supporting data storage.
New Relic
A hosted observability platform for application performance, infrastructure, logs and alerting, with a free tier.
HyperDX is MIT-licensed and can run on your own infrastructure, linking logs and traces for debugging production failures.
Parseable
Rust-based self-hosted logging server with columnar storage and a built-in UI.
HyperDX is MIT-licensed and links logs with traces and related telemetry for debugging application failures, requiring instrumentation and supporting data storage.
Seq
A self-hosted server for searching, analysing and alerting on structured logs, traces and metrics.
HyperDX is MIT-licensed and links logs, traces and related telemetry for debugging on your own infrastructure, requiring instrumentation and supporting storage.
