Introducing Metrics Explorer | SigNoz Launch Week 4.0 Day 2

Ever tried to build a metrics dashboard and thought, “Wait, what metrics am I actually sending?” We heard this from users again and again-so we built Metrics Explorer. For the first time, you get a real-time, interactive view of every metric coming into your system: Whether you’re onboarding a new integration, debugging an alert, or just exploring your data, Metrics Explorer makes it easy to understand and work with your metrics-no more guesswork, just clarity.

CI/CD Observability Powered by OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

Most teams have strong monitoring for production, but what about the journey before your code gets deployed? The CI/CD pipeline is where bottlenecks, flaky tests, and process gaps silently waste your team’s time. Until now, this part of the workflow has mostly been a black box. We’re excited to announce CI/CD Observability in SigNoz - a new way to track, analyze, and improve your software delivery process, powered by OpenTelemetry.

Tracing Funnels - Define funnels b/w spans in your distributed system

Build funnels directly on your traces and get instant answers to questions like: What fraction of spans made it from event A to event B? Between which spans are most requests failing? What is the latency between key spans? Traditional observability tools let you inspect traces and spans, but they can’t aggregate or analyze how requests flow across multiple services or stages in your system. In asynchronous, distributed architectures, the root span rarely tells the full story-and there’s no way to measure conversion, drop-off, or latency between arbitrary steps across all traces.

Third party API Monitoring powered by OpenTelemetry semantics

In today’s cloud-native world, third-party APIs are everywhere. Payments, notifications, search, AI, analytics as modern applications are built on a web of external services. But what happens when one of those APIs slows down, starts throwing errors, or gets rate-limited? Suddenly, your users are facing issues, and you’re stuck asking.

How to Monitor PowerShell Activity and Detect PowerShell Exploitation Vulnerabilities

Why should you monitor PowerShell?…. PowerShell is a powerful automation tool, however its capabilities also make it a prime target for exploitation by cyber attackers. Implementing a robust, automated PowerShell monitoring solution is now essential to detect and prevent exploitation attacks before they compromise your systems. PowerShell is a powerful scripting tool that can automate tasks and manage systems, but its flexibility also makes it a target for abuse.

Metrics Explorer - Search, Query, and Analyze all your Metrics at one place

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a dashboard dropdown, wondering, “What metrics am I even sending to my observability tool?”, you’re not alone. For most engineering teams, answering even the most basic telemetry questions is about as hard as catching a Mewtwo. Frustratingly elusive and way more complicated than it should be, like: We built Metrics Explorer to finally answer all of these questions instantly, and in one place.

Deep Temporal Observability | SigNoz Launch Week 4.0 Day 1

If Temporal powers your business-critical workflows, you know how tough it is to get real visibility into what’s happening under the hood. Most tools only show basic Prometheus metrics-leaving you guessing about bottlenecks, failures, and performance issues. Join us for a live demo of SigNoz’s industry-first Temporal integration. We’ll show you how to: Whether you’re running Temporal in production or just exploring workflow orchestration, this session will show you how to move from “just metrics” to true, unified observability.

Track GitHub Copilot Usage with Datadog #GitHubCopilot #Datadog #DevTools

Easily track GitHub Copilot usage across your organization with our new integration. On This Month in Datadog, we’re covering this integration, Datadog CoTerm, and the new Optimization page in Datadog Real User Monitoring. Check out the link in our bio to watch the new episode.

Unifying OpenTelemetry & Datadog | #Observability #OpenTelemetry #datadog

Previously, teams had to choose between adopting the OpenTelemetry Collector’s capabilities and fully leveraging our advanced features. On This Month in Datadog, we’re spotlighting our OTel Collector distribution, which unifies OTel and Datadog. Check out the link in our bio to watch the new episode.

Deep Temporal Observability - Correlate Metrics with Logs & Traces

Temporal lets you orchestrate complex, reliable workflows, but when something breaks or slows down, the built-in dashboards only give you a list of events and some basic filters. You can see what happened and filter by attributes like workflow type or namespace, but you can't drill deeper. There's no way to jump straight from a metric spike to the exact trace or log line you care about.
