SigNoz can be installed on macOS or Linux computers, and there are two ways in which you can install SigNoz:
- You may execute a script that checks your environment, installs Docker Engine and Docker Compose on Linux, and runs the
docker compose up
command for you. - You may execute the
docker compose up
command yourself.
Both methods are provided below.
SigNoz recommends you to use the install script on macOS and the following Linux distributions:
- Ubuntu
- Debian
- OpenSuse
- CentOS
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)
If you're using a different Linux distribution, see the Install SigNoz Using Docker Compose section.
Prerequisites
- A Linux or macOS machine. Microsoft Windows is not officially supported.
- On macOS, you must manually install Docker Engine before you run the install script. The install script automatically installs Docker Engine on Linux.
- A minimum of 4GB of memory must be allocated to Docker.
- Git client
- Ensure that the ports
3301
,4317
and4318
are open on the machine where you install SigNoz.

- Wait for all the pods to be in running state, and then point your browser to
http://<IP-ADDRESS>:3301/
to access the dashboard, replacing<IP-ADDRESS>
with the IP address of the machine where you installed SigNoz.
Example:
- If you're running SigNoz on your local machine, you should point your browser to
http://localhost:3301/
. - If the IP address of the machine on which you're running SigNoz is
66.82.18.247
, you should point your browser tohttp://66.82.18.247:3301/
By default, retention period is set to 7 days for logs and traces, and 30 days for metrics. To change this, navigate to the General tab on the Settings page of SigNoz UI.
For more details, refer to https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/retention-period.
The docker-compose.yaml
installs a sample application named HotR.O.D that generates tracing data. You can explore the SigNoz dashboard with the data provided by the sample application. If you wish to remove the sample application, follow the steps in the Remove the Sample Application section.
