we're opentelemetry-native and apart from many out of box charts for APM, infra monitoring, and logs, you can also build customized dashboards with lots of visualization option.
We started building signoz as an OS alternative of Datadog/New Relic four years back and opentelemetry-native from day 1. We have shipped some good features on top of Opentelemetry and because of OTel's semantic conventions & our query builder, you can correlate any telemetry across signals.
We removed those limitations from open source. Now you can create unlimited alerts and dashboards in SigNoz OSS too. p.s - i am one of the maintainers.
hey Signoz maintainer here. You can set up alerts to send notifications when there is data missing from your services for configurable periods of time. For example, alert if the data goes missing for the last 5 minutes. Yet to update this in docs, but please find some info here: https://signoz.io/blog/community-update-35/#upgraded-functio...
the biggest advantage of signoz over grafana is that you don't have to use multiple backends. If you want to do logs, metrics, and traces in a single tool, then signoz might be a better choice. In terms of visualization capabilites, Grafana has more options but signoz is catching up on that.
You can also check out SigNoz - https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz. It has logs, metrics, and traces under a single pane. If you're using otel libraries and otel collector you can do a lot of correlation between your logs and traces. I am a maintainer, and we have seen a lot of our users using signoz to have the ease of having three signals in a single pane.
Observability is the new buzzword in the monitoring domain. It is now more of a necessity than an afterthought for large-scale apps based on distributed architectures. This article explores top observability tools which you can use to set up robust monitoring for your application.
