After almost 15 months of hard work by our team of observability experts and many iterations with our design partners, we are more than proud to present to you what we have been working on.
Built with developers and SREs in mind, Dash0 builds upon industry-wide open standards like OpenTelemetry and PromQL, giving you complete visibility across your entire stack.
But Dash0 is much more than just another observability tool. Dash0 is the next step in observability, providing a powerful and user-friendly platform that offers deep insights into your logs, metrics, traces, and resources—all in one place. It leverages the powerful semantics and high adoption of OpenTelemetry. It’s built with UX and ease of troubleshooting first and foremost. It’s a tool expressly built to help you the most, when you need it the most.
Whether you work in a small development team or manage a complex micro-service architecture, Dash0 empowers you to monitor your systems effortlessly and keep everything running smoothly.
Why Dash0?
At Dash0, we aim to simplify observability for development and SRE teams by providing a transparent, intuitive, and scalable solution. Here’s why Dash0 is the observability platform you’ve been waiting for:
- OpenTelemetry Native: Dash0 is built from the ground up to integrate seamlessly with OpenTelemetry, ensuring standardized, efficient data collection and analysis across distributed systems—no vendor lock-in—just open, flexible observability.
- Full PromQL Support: If you’re already using Prometheus, you’ll love Dash0’s 100% PromQL compatibility. You can easily reuse your existing alert rules, integrate with Prometheus remote-write, and forward alerts to your Alertmanager setup. Either use our simple, guided UI or enter power user mode with PromQL editors for all types of telemetry data. One query language for all your signals!
- Transparency and Cost Control: With Dash0’s real-time visibility into your telemetry data usage, you can always see what you’re consuming and spending. We believe in simple and transparent pricing with precise costs per million logs, metrics, or spans.

Dash0 provides comprehensive observability across six key product capabilities: Metrics, Logs, Traces, Resources, Alerting, and Dashboards. Each area is designed to deliver powerful features and ease of use for developers and SREs.
- Metrics: Get granular visibility into your systems with resource-centric monitoring, 100% PromQL support, and a powerful query builder. Dash0 provides complete transparency on usage and cost, helping you optimize performance at scale.
- Logs: Centralize your logging effortlessly with easy ingestion via the Dash0 Kubernetes Operator, the upstream Opentelemetry Operator, the OpenTelemetry Collector or any other logging agent that talks the OTLP protocol. Our platform supports out-of-the-box integrations with Vercel, ensuring you can correlate logs with traces and metrics in context.
- Traces: Dash0 offers end-to-end tracing with features like quick filtering, deep trace details, and contextual insights that help you pinpoint issues quickly. Use the OTLP debugger for seamless debugging, and monitor resource performance indicators for better optimization.
- Resources: Keep track of your entire infrastructure and applications with Dash0’s resource explorer, resource maps, and health indicators. Our platform also provides contextual insights into all logs, spans, and metrics related to your resources, helping you stay ahead of potential issues.
- Alerting: Proactive monitoring is at your fingertips, and you can access it with full PromQL support and integrations with Slack, email and custom webhooks. Dash0 puts at your fingertips over 400 best-practice alert templates from Awesome Prometheus Alerts to reuse or customize, offers real-time alert previews of your rules as you edit them.
- Dashboards: Dash0’s dashboards are fully customizable and based on Perses, allowing you to import your existing dashboards and to visualize your observability data the way you need it. Combine logs, metrics, and traces into unified views, and share them securely with your team.
Cross-Cutting Features for Ease of Use
We’ve designed Dash0 with usability as a core principle. From powerful filtering options based on OpenTelemetry conventions to full keyboard support for navigation and configuration, Dash0 is built for speed and efficiency. Explore your resources and signals easily, and enjoy our sleek dark mode for a focused, distraction-free interface.
Our pricing model is designed with transparency in mind. With Dash0, you pay per million logs, metrics, or spans. Our platform provides real-time visibility into your data usage, allowing you to monitor and control costs directly within the tool.
Open Standards for Maximum Flexibility
Dash0 embraces open standards, providing seamless interoperability with popular observability tools:
- PromQL: Full PromQL compatibility ensures you can leverage your existing Prometheus alert rules and integrate seamlessly with your current setup. Connect Grafana, the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler or anything else that talks PromQL to Dash0 without any datasource or plugin needed.
- Perses compatibility: perses Dashboards can be imported directly into Dash0 dashboards, allowing you to easily create, manage, and visualize your monitoring data.
- OpenTelemetry collector and operator: Use the OpenTelemetry Collector and Operator for a vendor-agnostic implementation that simplifies receiving, processing, and exporting telemetry data. (And if you need a hand configuring the OpenTelemetry collector, check out OtelBin ;-) )
- Dash0 Kubernetes operator: Simplify monitoring of your Kubernetes clusters with our all-in-one Kubernetes Operator. Built on open standards and open source, it automates everything, eliminating the need for manual instrumentation.
