What ObservabilityOS is
ObservabilityOS collects structured logs, scrubs sensitive information, detects anomalies, and produces AI-assisted incident post-mortems. Its rolling statistical Z-score baselines monitor error rates, latency, and CPU usage. The service says analysis using GPT-4 or Claude can describe what happened, why, and a recommended hotfix. Logs can be collected through a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK or a Docker sidecar for local logs and container output; its ingestion API also supports native OTLP HTTP/JSON. Listed integrations include OpenTelemetry, GitHub, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Incident features include threaded comments, runbooks, service health dashboards, SLOs, and live SSE monitoring. The site says telemetry is scrubbed before storage and sensitive client data is not sent to external LLMs. A free source-available self-hosted option uses Docker/Compose and offers community support. The Free Developer plan allows one service, 500MB of logs monthly, and seven-day retention. Pro Cloud is $29 / month, approximately ₹2,499 / month in India, with 10 services, 10GB monthly logs, and 30-day retention.
