An open-source alternative to New Relic

SigNoz is the one project in our catalog listed as a replacement for New Relic. It is observability software with 32.5K GitHub stars. Below is how it measures against the questions people usually ask first.

SigNoz

Observability

Find production issues fast with logs, metrics and traces in one place.

SigNoz keeps logs, metrics, traces, dashboards and alerts in one application, so you can move from a slow service chart to the exact trace and its logs without switching tools. It is built on OpenTelemetry, which means the instrumentation in your code stays standard if you ever change backends.

  • Search logs, follow traces and chart metrics side by side, linked to the same request.
  • Build dashboards with a visual query builder, PromQL or ClickHouse SQL, and alert on any query.
  • Send data with OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, so instrumentation is not tied to one vendor.

What people use it for

Find why an API got slow

Open the service in the APM view to see latency, error rate and top endpoints, then click into a slow trace. The flamegraph shows which database or external call took the time, with the related logs alongside.

Replace a paid logging bill

Point your OpenTelemetry collectors or agents at your own SigNoz server and ingest application logs there. Search and filter them with the query builder and save the views your team uses every day.

Watch a Kubernetes cluster

Install SigNoz with Helm and turn on the Kubernetes integration to collect node, pod and workload metrics. Build a dashboard for CPU, memory and disk, and set alerts that notify your on-call channel.
