OpenObserve (O2) is a unified, open-source observability platform that ingests logs, metrics, traces and real-user monitoring with dashboards, alerts and session replay. It adds LLM observability, a natural-language query assistant and an SRE agent for automated incident correlation and root-cause analysis. It runs as a single self-hosted binary or Helm chart, or as fully managed OpenObserve Cloud.

Pros & cons

  • Single binary self-host or managed cloud
  • Logs, metrics, traces, RUM in one tool
  • Large storage-cost savings vs Elasticsearch
  • Fully open source (AGPL-3.0)
  • 18k+ GitHub stars, 6,000+ orgs
  • AGPL-3.0 can deter some commercial embedding
  • Younger ecosystem than Datadog/Grafana
  • Enterprise features gated above 50GB/day
