Top 11 Grafana Alternatives & Competitors [2024]

Are you looking for Grafana alternatives? Then you have come to the right place. Grafana started as a data visualization tool. It slowly evolved into a tool that can take data from multiple data sources for visualization. For observability, Grafana offers the LGTM stack (Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, and Mimir for metrics). You need to configure and maintain multiple configurations for a full-stack observability setup.

Improved Dashboard Performance, Better Trace View UX & New Logs Processors - SigNal 32

Welcome to the last SigNal of 2023! 12 months of building and shipping things to make open-source observability available to teams of all sizes. What a great journey it has been for Team SigNoz in the year 2023. We crossed some great milestones - raised $6.5MN to supercharge our growth, more than 15,000 Github stars, and 8.6 million Docker downloads. And the best part of our journey has been building with our community.

How to export Azure Monitor Metrics using OpenTelemetry to SigNoz

Using OpenTelemetry Collector, you can collect metrics from Azure monitor and export them to any backend of your choice. Azure Monitor is a powerful service within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem that provides extensive metrics and logging capabilities. Yet the siloed nature of data in such tools can obscure the bigger picture, hindering a holistic view of system health. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this Prerequisites section.

Kubernetes Events Monitoring with OpenTelemetry | Complete Tutorial

Events in Kubernetes are objects that provide insights into the state changes within the Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes events monitoring is critical to provide real-time insights into the operational state of a Kubernetes cluster. It enables administrators to quickly identify and respond to issues, optimize resource allocation, and ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of their containerized applications.

OpenTelemetry ECS Tutorial - Monitor AWS ECS metrics [Step-By-Step Guide]

OpenTelemetry can be used to monitor ECS clusters. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect ECS metrics and then send the collected data to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this Pre-requisites section.

Top 11 Kubernetes Monitoring Tools[Includes Free & Open-Source] in 2024

Are you looking for Kubernetes monitoring tools? Then you have come to the right place. Kubernetes has grown to become the container orchestration platform of choice. It simplifies managing your containerized workloads. You get the power of automating deployments, scaling resources, and keeping your applications running smoothly. But with great power comes added responsibility. And like any complex system, Kubernetes needs monitoring.

Three Pillars of Observability [And Beyond]

Observability is often defined in the context of three pillars: logs, metrics, and traces. Modern-day cloud-native applications are complex and dynamic. To avoid surprises and performance issues, you need a robust observability stack. But is observability limited to collecting logs, metrics, and traces? How is observability evolving to make our systems more observable? In this tutorial, we cover.

Using OpenTelemetry Collector Loki Receiver to Send Logs to SigNoz [Code Tutorial]

In this tutorial, you will learn how to collect logs using the Loki receiver in OpenTelemetry Collector to send logs to SigNoz. If you’re using Promtail to collect logs, you can send them to SigNoz instead of Loki via the OpenTelemetry Collector. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this prerequisites section.

OpenTelemetry vs Jaeger : Comparing Apple and Oranges

Open telemetry works with all the three signals i.e. it help in generating all the three signals while Jaeger only focuses on one signal (traces). The second key difference is Jaeger doesn't worry about generating data. It's more focused on the UI visualization long term storage of traces data while OpenTelemetry primarily focused on generating traces data.

Monitor HAProxy Metrics and Logs with OpenTelemetry [Step By Step Guide]

For extremely high throughput web applications, it is important to load balance the traffic across multiple servers. However, load balancing the traffic alone is not enough at times. The reverse proxy server that handles the workload needs to be performant, too. In our previous article, we discussed the NGINX reverse proxy server and understood how to monitor it. In this article, we set up monitoring for an even more performant reverse proxy server - HAProxy.
