SigNoz is an open-source observability platform that helps you monitor and improve application performance. Built to natively support OpenTelemetry, it simplifies instrumentation and provides a unified view of metrics, logs, and traces, helping you identify and resolve issues quickly.
Benefits of Using SigNoz with OpenTelemetry
1. Standardized Telemetry Data Collection
OpenTelemetry provides a standardized way to generate and collect telemetry data across platforms and languages. This helps you implement observability without vendor lock-in.
2. Simplified Instrumentation Process
Using OpenTelemetry libraries, you can instrument your application easily. For example, in a Node.js app, you can install the necessary packages, configure exporters, and send data to SigNoz:
- Install OpenTelemetry packages.
- Configure exporters to send data to SigNoz.
- Validate that data is sent correctly.
3. Rich Visualization and Analysis
After instrumentation, SigNoz provides dashboards and visualization tools to analyze telemetry data. You can use Flamegraphs and Gantt charts to understand request flows and identify bottlenecks.
4. Flexible Deployment Options
You can deploy SigNoz as a cloud service or self-host it, depending on your privacy requirements and operational preferences.
