We just released a major upgrade to SigNoz with support for Logs management based on ClickHouse. Would love to get any feedback from the community here on what you think and any questions you may have for us Many big companies like Uber and Cloudflare have been shifting to ClickHouse as their main workhorse for Logs management seeing much better performance. for e.g Cloudflare recently shifted from Elastic to ClickHouse and are seeing 8x improvement in memory/cpu resource requirement in ingestion. This is our first release with Logs support and we have added support for: - Filtering…

superlog▲497Hey HN, we’re Nico and Arseniy, co-founders of Superlog (https://superlog.sh). We're building a self-installing, self healing observability tool meant not to be opened. It has a wizard that daily sets up proper logging and an agent that investigates errors and opens PRs. Super short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhU9Mk247M. In our earlier startups, we tried Sentry, Datadog, Grafana, Dash0, and nothing was good enough. Proper telemetry and alerting still requires a ton of manual setup. We struggled with adding good logs, so debugging was tough, especially as…

Over the past few months, we've been building Prism; a fast, developer-first observability UI that's deeply integrated with our open-source database, Parseable. Prism is designed for engineers who debug distributed systems, sometimes at odd hours, and need answers right now, without having to deal with five different tools. Backstory: We spoke to dozens of observability practitioners in large enterprises. Across the board, we heard two things: (1)The RoI on observability tools is hard to justify. (2)OSS leads to tool sprawl, metrics in Grafana, logs in ELK, traces… somewhere. We wanted a…

Hello folks, We are launching OpenObserve. An open source Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative written in rust and vue that is super easy to get started with and has 140x lower storage cost compared to elasticsearch. It offers logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, functions (run aws lambda like functions during ingestion and query to enrich, redact, transform, normalize and whatever else you want to do. Think redacting email IDs from logs, adding geolocation based on IP address, etc). You can do all of this from the UI, no messing up with configuration files. OpenObserve…

Hey HN! After building an observability software (Instana) and selling it to IBM, I wanted to approach observability differently this time—simpler, more open, and built with developers like me in mind. That’s why I started Dash0. Dash0 is natively built on OpenTelemetry, so logs, metrics, and traces are handled without extra hoops. You can send data via OTLP directly, through an OpenTelemetry Collector, or use our open-source Kubernetes operator to get started quickly. I didn’t want a tool that forces people into proprietary systems, so Dash0 supports PromQL for querying and alerting and…

Hi HN, I built Ayder — a single-binary, HTTP-native durable event log written in C. The wedge is simple: curl is the client (no JVM, no ZooKeeper, no thick client libs). There’s a 2-minute demo that starts with an unclean SIGKILL, then restarts and verifies offsets + data are still there. Numbers (3-node Raft, real network, sync-majority writes, 64B payload): ~50K msg/s sustained (wrk2 @ 50K req/s), client P99 ~3.46ms. Crash recovery after SIGKILL is ~40–50s with ~8M offsets. Repo link has the video, benchmarks, and quick start. I’m looking for a few early design partners (any…

Hello everyone, there are many log services available and this is my attempt at a better one. Most online logging tools feature convoluted UIs, arbitrary mandatory fields, questionable AI/insights, complex pricing, etc. I hope my application fixes most of these issues. It also has some nice features, such as automatic Geo IP checks and public dashboards. Although I've created lots of software, this is my first open source application (MIT license), the tutorial for selfhosting is hopefully sufficient! Most of my development career has been with C#, NodeJS and PHP. For this project I've…

Hello all! I built Glintlog because I wanted a simple way to aggregate logs without spinning up Elasticsearch, Loki, or a SaaS that costs my kidney… What it is: A self-hosted log aggregation tool that runs as a single binary. No Docker, no dependencies, no config files required. How it works: ``` curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibero-data/glintlog/main/s... | bash ``` That's it. Open localhost:8080 and you have a log viewer with search, filtering, and live tail. Tech: - Go backend with embedded DuckDB for storage - Native OTLP support (gRPC on 4317,…

Hey HN, I often check raw logs - out/error.log, nginx's access.log, etc, but they're hard to read So I built beautiful parser & formatter with filtering and syntax highlighting PrettyLog supports many common log formats out of the box: - nginx access logs - Apache error logs - Syslog (RFC 5424) - Logfmt (Heroku/Go style) - Docker logs - standard/node.js logs - Spring Boot logs - AWS VPC Flow logs - Kubernetes kubectl get events If you need something specific, you can use custom regex parser. Processing is 100% local. Your data never leaves the browser. I hope you find it as…
