End-to-End Network Observability

Network Monitoring: Every Flow Record, Never Sampled

Identify root causes faster with native network-layer correlation. Unify NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow, VPC Flow Logs, and SNMP with the rest of your stack's metrics, logs, and traces.

Native network integrations

Connect your network estate in minutes. OpenObserve ingests directly from the devices and services you already run - no agents, no custom glue code.

Flow data, device metrics, and app telemetry sit in the same backend you already query.

OpenObserve’s Key Network Monitoring Capabilities

Flow Level Traffic Analysis

  • NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow Ingestion

    Routers and switches already export flow records. OpenObserve collects them through goflow2 and turns fields like source IP, destination port, bytes, and protocol into searchable data within seconds. No dedicated NetFlow appliance required.

  • Find Top Talkers Fast

    Ask a direct question like "which source IPs are using the most bandwidth?" and get an answer in one query. Filter by destination port to isolate a single misbehaving service. Root cause in seconds, not a ticket queue.

Flow Level Traffic Analysis

Cloud and VPC Flow Visibility

  • AWS VPC Flow Logs in Minutes

    Connect your AWS VPC Flow Logs to OpenObserve through Amazon Data Firehose. Accepted and rejected traffic across your cloud network flows in automatically, with no custom code to write or maintain. You see exactly which rule is dropping packets.

  • Enrich Flows as They Arrive

    OpenObserve pipelines add geographic location and hostname context to raw IP addresses the moment data is ingested. A bare IP becomes a country and a recognizable name. Investigations start with context, not guesswork.

Device and Interface Monitoring

  • SNMP Without a Separate Tool

    The OpenTelemetry Collector polls your routers, switches, and firewalls over SNMP and reports interface throughput, status, and errors as metrics. It supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3. No standalone SNMP poller to license or run.

  • Catch Problems Before Users Do

    Track interface errors to spot a failing link early, or watch interface status to confirm a change landed. Because device metrics and flow data share one platform, you can line up an interface error with the traffic drop it caused in the same view.

Device and Interface Monitoring

Topology, Alerts, and Incidents

  • Build Network Topology Dashboards

    OpenObserve custom charts render node and link graphs from your flow data, so you can map how traffic actually moves between hosts. You build the view your network needs instead of accepting a fixed layout.

  • From Alert to Incident, Automatically

    Set an alert on a traffic spike, a surge in rejected connections, or an interface going down. When it triggers, OpenObserve opens an incident directly, so the on call team is paged before a small issue becomes an outage. Detection and response stay in one place.

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.
