Alternatives to OpenObserve
Compare allSoftware that can replace OpenObserve for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.
SigNoz
Open-source full-stack observability platform built on OpenTelemetry and ClickHouse.
SigNoz also combines logs, traces and metrics, adding APM on OpenTelemetry and ClickHouse, but running its ClickHouse-backed stack adds operational overhead.
Uptrace
Explore traces, metrics and logs collected through OpenTelemetry.
Uptrace is also AGPL-3.0 and freemium, exploring traces, metrics and logs collected through OpenTelemetry, and requires instrumentation plus a supported storage setup.
HyperDX
Investigate application failures using linked logs, traces and related telemetry.
HyperDX is MIT-licensed and focuses on investigating application failures through linked logs, traces and related telemetry, requiring instrumentation and supporting data storage.
Elastic Stack
Elasticsearch, Logstash, Beats and Kibana combined for collecting, searching and visualizing logs and other data.
Elastic Stack is not open source and centres on log collection, search and Kibana dashboards, with several separate services to maintain and heavy resource use for small setups.
Coroot
Investigate application behavior using automatically collected observability data.
Coroot is Apache-2.0 licensed and uses eBPF-based collection to combine service views with metrics and traces, though deep collection needs compatible Linux hosts and privileges.
Parseable
Rust-based self-hosted logging server with columnar storage and a built-in UI.
Parseable covers logs only, with Rust-based columnar S3-native storage and a built-in UI with SQL queries, and is a younger project than established stacks.
Graylog
Self-hosted enterprise log management platform with stream processing and alerts.
Graylog handles log management only, adding stream processing and content packs for common sources, while enterprise features need a paid tier and scale needs server resources.
VictoriaLogs
Store and search logs with a dedicated log-management server.
VictoriaLogs is Apache-2.0 licensed and handles only log storage and search, so metrics and traces need separate tools, and log shippers must be configured.
OpenObserve as an alternative
Listings that name OpenObserve as an alternative.
Apache SkyWalking
Observe distributed applications through traces, metrics and related service information.
OpenObserve collects logs, metrics and traces in one AGPL-3.0 application, with hosted services and enterprise features priced separately from the self-hosted version.
Grafana
Dashboard and visualization front end for metrics, logs and traces.
OpenObserve collects and displays logs, metrics and traces in one AGPL-3.0 application, replacing separate back ends plus Grafana, with enterprise features priced separately.
Grafana Loki
Collect and query application logs using label-based indexing.
OpenObserve stores logs together with metrics and traces in one AGPL-3.0 application with its own search interface, with enterprise features priced separately.
Jaeger
Follow requests across services to investigate distributed-system latency.
OpenObserve stores traces alongside logs and metrics in one application under AGPL-3.0, with enterprise features priced separately.
Prometheus
Metrics database that scrapes targets and evaluates alerting rules.
OpenObserve collects logs and traces as well as metrics in one AGPL-3.0 application, with hosted services and enterprise features priced separately.
