Collect application traces, logs and metrics in one self-hosted workspace.

What you can use it for

Collect application traces, logs and metrics in one self-hosted workspace.

  • OpenTelemetry-based application monitoring, log search and metrics without a per-host Community software subscription.
  • Community core permits commercial use; manage your own telemetry and retention.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Correlate application logs, distributed traces and system metrics in a unified OpenTelemetry-native platform with SigNoz instead of Coralogix APM.

Before you switch

This is self-hosted Community, not a free SigNoz Cloud subscription. You pay for or supply compute, disks, backups, bandwidth and administration; minimum 4 GB Docker memory, with more needed as ingestion grows. Default retention is 7 days for logs/traces and 30 days for metrics and can be configured within your storage capacity. Enterprise features have separate terms. No paid LLM API is required. Instrumentation and migration take work; no promise of all Datadog integrations or feature parity.

Alternatives to these paid apps

Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
