About SigNoz

What SigNoz does, and why teams deploy it.

SigNoz provides a unified observability platform built on OpenTelemetry, combining distributed tracing, metrics monitoring, and log management into a single pane of glass. Unlike fragmented tool stacks or expensive SaaS solutions like Datadog and New Relic, SigNoz gives engineering teams full visibility into application performance with native support for the OpenTelemetry standard.

Powered by ClickHouse on the backend, SigNoz delivers fast query performance across massive volumes of telemetry data. Its intuitive dashboards, alerting rules, and service maps make it straightforward to identify bottlenecks, debug issues, and understand system behavior across distributed architectures.

DIY vs ManageStacks

What running SigNoz yourself looks like — and what it looks like with us.

DIY self-hosting

  • Deploy ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry Collector, query service, and frontend separately — each with its own config
  • Configure ClickHouse retention policies, replication, and storage scaling by hand
  • Wire OpenTelemetry SDKs to the collector and troubleshoot data pipeline gaps
  • Build alerting rules and dashboards from scratch — no preconfigured templates
  • Handle ClickHouse version upgrades and schema migrations without breaking query performance

On ManageStacks

  • Subscribe through your AWS, Azure, or GCP marketplace
  • SigNoz deploys with ClickHouse, OTel Collector, query service, and frontend — fully integrated
  • Send traces, metrics, and logs from any OpenTelemetry-instrumented service immediately
  • Preconfigured dashboards and alert templates for common services ship out of the box
  • Rolling upgrades including ClickHouse schema migrations handled by us

How it deploys

From subscribe to live in minutes.

1

Subscribe

Subscribe to ManageStacks through your AWS, Azure, or GCP marketplace.

2

Provision

SigNoz deploys with ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry Collector, and the full UI stack — typically 4-6 minutes.

3

Instrument

Add OpenTelemetry SDKs to your services and point the OTLP exporter at your ManageStacks SigNoz endpoint. Traces, metrics, and logs start flowing.

4

Observe

Build dashboards, set alert rules, and use service maps to understand distributed system behavior. Drill from metrics to traces to logs in a single interface.

Who this is for

Built for teams that want SigNoz to just work.

Engineering teams replacing Datadog

Your Datadog bill grows linearly with hosts and trace volume. SigNoz gives you the same traces-metrics-logs experience at a flat monthly cost, with data staying in your cloud.

Platform teams standardizing on OpenTelemetry

You have committed to OpenTelemetry across your services and need a backend that speaks OTLP natively — not a vendor that bolted OTel support onto a proprietary format.

Startups needing full-stack observability without enterprise pricing

You need distributed tracing, infrastructure metrics, and log aggregation but cannot justify $50-100+/host/month. SigNoz on ManageStacks is flat $29/mo regardless of host count.

Compliance & compatibility

What we handle, what SigNoz runs on.

Compliance & operations

  • TLS-encrypted OTLP ingestion and dashboard traffic
  • All telemetry data stays in your cloud region — no vendor data access
  • GDPR data-residency — ClickHouse storage confined to your chosen region
  • Configurable data retention policies per signal type (traces, metrics, logs)
  • OS-level, SigNoz, and ClickHouse security patches applied during your maintenance window
  • Daily automated backups of ClickHouse data and SigNoz configuration

Compatibility

Version
Latest SigNoz stable (validated with ClickHouse compatibility before upgrade)
Runtime
Go + React on containerized infrastructure with ClickHouse backend
Dependencies
ClickHouse (managed alongside), OpenTelemetry Collector, ZooKeeper (for ClickHouse replication)
Min. resources

How ManageStacks helps

We handle the parts you shouldn't be writing yourself.

ManageStacks eliminates the complexity of running SigNoz's multi-component architecture, letting your team focus on instrumenting applications instead of managing observability infrastructure.
