In plain words

Ultraviolet Observability is a self-hosted platform that provides full-stack monitoring for applications and Kubernetes environments without requiring code changes. It captures traces, logs, metrics, and service topology while keeping all data on the user's infrastructure, never sending telemetry outside the firewall. The platform works air-gapped and offers dashboards, alerts, and SLOs, serving development teams that need observability with data privacy and control.

From the sources

A self-hosted alternative to Datadog: traces, logs, metrics, profiling and alerts for Kubernetes, with no code changes, run entirely inside your environment. Your telemetry never crosses your firewall.

Ultraviolet Observability runs entirely inside your environment. Capture traces, logs, metrics and service topology with no code changes — and every byte of that telemetry stays on your infrastructure. No vendor egress. No per-GB surprise. Works air-gapped. A live Ultraviolet core watching Google's Online Boutique — eleven microservices, no code changes, nothing added to the app. Every hour a bad deploy slows the product catalog. Follow it from the alert to the deploy that caused it. No spam. You will get a login link, and one email from us to see how we can help. Privacy Datadog and Groundcover are good products with the same structural problem: your telemetry — request payload shapes,…from uvobservability.com

    Hey 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…

  • Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring2023 · github.com · ▲101

    Hello Everyone, I'm excited to introduce a new open-source observability platform and would love to hear your feedback. We are aware that there are lots of open-source/commercial tools out there. However, we believe that monitoring the clusters and extracting actionable insights requires deep know-how about the tools/domain. We mainly focused on this problem. - Alaz is an eBPF agent installed on your K8s cluster as DaemonSet. Thanks to eBPF, Alaz collects traces directly from Linux kernels. This means there's no need for sidecars, instrumentations, or service restarts. - The UI not…

    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…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
