    Uptrace is an all-in-one tool that supports distributed tracing, metrics, and logs. It uses OpenTelelemetry observability framework to collect data and ClickHouse database to store it. You can ingest data using OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), Vector Logs, and Zipkin API. You can also use OpenTelemetry Collector to collect Prometheus metrics or receive data from Jaeger, X Ray, Apache, PostgreSQL, MySQL and many more. The latest Uptrace release introduces support for OpenTelemetry Metrics which includes: - User interface to build table-based and grid-based dashboards. - Pre-built dashboard…

    Uptrace is an open source APM that supports distributed tracing, metrics, and logs. You can use it to monitor applications and troubleshoot issues. The latest v1.6 release adds support for service graphs, Prometheus remote write, Grafana data source for Prometheus, annotations, and much more. The main feature in this release is the ability to use Uptrace as a Prometheus data source in Grafana. Uptrace uses the original Prometheus engine, so all Prometheus queries should be supported and you should be able to use existing Grafana dashboards with the Uptrace data source. You can learn more in…

    If you've built any web-based app in the last 15 years, you probably used something like Datadog, New Relic, Sentry, etc. to monitor and trace your app, right? Why should it be different when the app you're building happens to be using LLMs? So today we're open-sourcing OpenLLMetry-JS. It's an open protocol and SDK, based on OpenTelemetry, that provides traces and metrics for LLM JS/TS applications and can be connected to any of the 15+ tools that already support OpenTelemetry. Here's the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry-js A few months ago we launched…

    Hi HN, we are building Tracecat (https://tracecat.com/), an open source automation platform for security alerts. Tracecat automates the tasks a security analyst has to do when responding to a security alert: e.g. contact victims, investigate security logs, report vulnerability. The average security analyst deals with 100 alerts per day. As soon as an alert comes in, you have to investigate and respond. An average alert takes ~30 minutes to analyze (and 100 x 30 min = 50 hours > one whole day) Lots of things get dropped, and this creates vulnerabilities. Many breaches can be…

    Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. We’re open-sourcing a set of extensions we’ve built on top of OpenTelemetry that provide visibility into LLM applications - whether it be prompts, vector DBs and more. Here’s the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry. There’s already a decent number of tools for LLM observability, some open-source and some not. But what we found was missing for all of them is that they were closed-protocol by design, vendor-locking you to use their observability platform or their proprietary framework for running your LLMs. It’s still early in the…
