Enterprise Open Source Software (OSS) Infrastructure
Open-Source Observability Stacks
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo cover metrics, dashboards, logs, and traces without per-seat licensing. The challenge shifts from procurement to operations: cardinality control, retention, and correlating signals across systems. A well-designed stack answers incident questions faster than a pile of dashboards.
Vigtige pointer
- Control metric cardinality by dropping unbounded labels before ingestion.
- Set retention per signal type and tier old data to cheaper storage.
- Instrument services with consistent labels so metrics, logs, and traces join cleanly.
- Alert on symptoms users feel, not on every internal threshold.
- Run Grafana with provisioned dashboards so they survive rebuilds.
- Correlate traces with logs using shared trace identifiers.
- Monitor the observability stack itself, including scrape lag and ingestion drops.
- Review alerts quarterly and delete ones nobody acts on.
Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Is this cheaper than a SaaS observability vendor?
Often at scale, once staff time is included honestly. Small teams may still prefer managed services.
How do I stop Prometheus from exploding?
Limit labels, use recording rules, and set retention deliberately.
Do I need all four tools?
Start with metrics and logs, add tracing when you have distributed request paths to debug.
How do I handle long-term storage?
Use remote write to an object-storage-backed system with downsampling.
