What is OpenObserve?
OpenObserve, self-hosted on your own VPS.
When a deploy breaks checkout at 2 a.m., OpenObserve shows you the error log, the latency spike and the slow span in one place instead of three separate tools. It is an open source observability platform for logs, metrics and traces, with SQL and PromQL queries, dashboards and alerts. On your own VPS, the Coolify app installer deploys it in one click, so your telemetry lands on a server you control right away.
Full root and SSH access means you decide how OpenObserve runs. You can set retention, run an OpenTelemetry Collector or Grafana next to it via Coolify, restrict ingest endpoints with your own firewall and keep every log line on the disk in the location you picked. Unlike a managed platform or a usage-billed SaaS, nothing leaves the server unless you send it, and you can inspect containers, volumes and configs directly.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Openobserve
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
It is OpenObserve, the open source platform for logs, metrics and traces, installed via the Coolify app installer on your own KVM VPS. You choose from our VPS plans, keep full root access, and your data stays on your server's disk in the location you pick.
You pay for the VPS plan, not a per-GB ingestion bill. OpenObserve itself is open source, so your cost depends on the VPS plan, term and location you choose. Current prices load live in the pricing section, and terms of 90, 180 or 365 days come with a discount. You can cancel anytime.
It depends on how much data you ingest per day and how long you keep it. A small plan suits a homelab or a handful of services. Production stacks with many services, traces and longer retention need more RAM, CPU cores and disk. Start with what you need today and move to a larger plan as your volume grows.
- Low volume: a few hosts and short retention
- Growing stacks: more services, traces and alert rules
- Long retention: plan disk space first
Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in the panel and pick OpenObserve from the Coolify app catalog. Coolify pulls the container and sets up persistent storage and a URL for the UI. Then log in with your admin account and copy the ingestion endpoints into your collectors. Read the One-Click Apps guide
Yes. You get root and SSH access to the whole VPS, so you can read container logs, change environment variables, tune retention or add your own tools. Coolify is optional: it makes deploys easier, but you can manage everything from the shell. First SSH access explained
Yes. OpenObserve accepts OTLP, so an OpenTelemetry Collector or SDK can ship logs, metrics and traces directly. It also takes data from agents such as Fluent Bit and Vector, and you can turn on syslog ingestion in the settings.
- OTLP over HTTP or gRPC
- Fluent Bit, Vector and Filebeat
- Prometheus remote write for metrics
Yes, as long as your plan has enough resources. Coolify can deploy more apps on the same VPS, such as Grafana, an OpenTelemetry Collector or a reverse proxy, each in its own container. Learn more about Coolify
Your telemetry is stored on your VPS's own disk in the data center you choose. ZAP-Hosting has locations in Europe and America, so pick the one closest to your services or users. Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, for example, are common choices for workloads running in North America.
Every VPS is DDoS-protected. On top of that, serve the UI over HTTPS through Coolify's proxy, use strong credentials for the admin user, and restrict the ingest endpoints to your collectors' IPs with a firewall. Set up the Linux firewall
Yes. Every VPS gets a daily automatic Backup, included in the price. With the ZapX Pass you can view and restore these daily Backups, create manual Backups and snapshots, and keep daily Backups for longer depending on your Pass tier.

Why is my OpenObserve UI slow since yesterday?
RAM and disk are close to their limits because ingestion has grown.
What should I do first?
Check retention per stream or consider a larger plan. I'll show you where to look.
