Application Monitoring: Native OTLP, No Agent
Point any OpenTelemetry exporter at OpenObserve, over HTTP or gRPC. Your instrumentation stays vendor-neutral.
Drop-in OTLP endpoint
Your endpoint and token come pre-filled. Existing collector configs work unchanged, no migration required.
Zero Proprietary Agent
Send traces through any OTel SDK or Collector you already run, no vendor agent to install.
Pre-Filled Endpoint and Token
Skip manual configuration. Your ingestion endpoint and auth token are ready the moment you sign up.
One Resource Model for Every Signal
Logs, metrics, and traces share the same resource model, so correlation works without custom mapping.
Why Use OpenObserve for Application Monitoring?
Vendor-Neutral Instrumentation
Any OTel Exporter, No Rewrite
Use OTLP over HTTP or gRPC from any SDK or collector you already run. Existing configs keep working.
Drop-In Endpoint Configuration
Your endpoint and token are pre-filled for your organization, no manual setup before your first trace arrives.
Unified Correlation
One Resource Model
Logs, metrics, and traces share a single resource model, so correlation works out of the box instead of after custom mapping.
Cross-Signal Root Cause
Jump from a slow trace to the logs and metrics from the same request without switching tools.
Open Standards
Nothing Proprietary in the Pipeline
Every hop from SDK to storage uses open OpenTelemetry standards, nothing to rip out if you change vendors later.
Standard Semantic Conventions
Rely on OTel’s semantic conventions instead of a vendor-specific schema for spans and attributes.
Low Switching Cost
Instrumentation Stays Yours
Because nothing is proprietary, moving to or from OpenObserve does not mean re-instrumenting your services.
Existing Collector Configs Work Unchanged
Point your current OpenTelemetry Collector config at a new endpoint, nothing else to rebuild.
Benchmarks
Measured against the platforms you are already paying for
Same telemetry, same workloads, one platform. Every number is OpenObserve against a named vendor — not an industry average.
vs. Datadog
8×
more cost-effective
8x cost reduction means you can unify your observability into a single platform.
vs. Elastic
140×
storage efficiency
140x storage means longer retention doesn't necessarily mean expensive bills.
vs. Dynatrace
10×
faster performance
10x performance means dashboards and queries load in milliseconds, not minutes.
vs. New Relic
30×
compute efficiency
30x compute efficiency means you index everything and don't have to compromise on sampling.
