Traceloop streams distributed traces, structured logs, and live metrics straight to your shell. No dashboard to babysit — grep a production incident like it's a local logfile.
Three pillars, one binary. Traceloop derives traces, logs, and metrics from a single OpenTelemetry stream — then hands them back to you where you already live: the command line.
Follow one request across every service, queue and database hop. Waterfalls and flamegraphs render right in your terminal — no context-switch to a dashboard.
Every log line is stitched to its span and trace id. Filter by service, level or trace with a query syntax that feels like the grep you already know.
RED metrics are derived automatically from your traces — rate, errors, duration. Wire up burn-rate alerts to Slack or PagerDuty without touching a single graph.
Install the CLI, drop one line into your app's entrypoint, and Traceloop auto-instruments the rest. No agents, no sidecars, no sampling config to get wrong.
One global binary — macOS, Linux, Windows, or a static musl build for your CI image.
Add traceloop/register to your entrypoint. Auto-instrumentation wraps HTTP, DB drivers, queues and gRPC.
Run traceloop up --follow and your live trace stream lands in the terminal you already have open.
Self-host the collector or use ours. Traces never leave your VPC unless you say so — export to any OTLP backend.
Traceloop speaks OpenTelemetry, so it plugs into the stack you already run — no vendor lock-in, no rewrite.
Start free forever. Scale when your traffic does. Every plan includes the full CLI, traces, logs and metrics.
Copy-paste-able from the first line. Real snippets, real defaults, a quickstart you can finish before your coffee. Bring your own OTLP backend or ours.
