Dash0

What Dash0 does

Dash0 is an OpenTelemetry-native platform that helps companies stay in control of software built and run by AI. It closes the loop from code to production by governing what AI builds, observing everything in production, and fixing problems autonomously. The platform provides complete visibility across the stack with support for metrics, logs, traces, and resources, including service monitoring, alerting, dashboards, website monitoring, and synthetic monitoring. Dash0 also features Agent0, an AI SRE that continuously scans environments, identifies degrading services, traces issues to commits, and drafts fixes. Darkplane tracks AI coding assistant usage, cost, and productivity metrics. Built on OpenTelemetry, PromQL, and Perses, Dash0 offers comprehensive visibility with zero vendor lock-in and transparent consumption-based pricing.

Products

• DarkplaneA component of Dash0 that tracks AI coding assistant usage across engineering organizations, monitoring adoption, cost, and productivity metrics for tools like Claude Code and Cursor, including cycle time from coding session to merged pull request. It helps build with AI and ship with confidence.
• ObservabilityA core layer of Dash0 providing comprehensive visibility across the entire stack. It includes APM, RUM, Infrastructure monitoring, and LLM & Agents monitoring. It's designed for observability without the headache, built on the same signals, context, and tools as Darkplane and Agent0.
• Agent0An autonomous production AI built into Dash0 that runs production on autopilot. It scans environments continuously, surfaces degrading services, traces issues to offending commits, and drafts fixes as pull requests. It integrates with service views for natural language queries to investigate issues and can generate dashboards or alerts. It includes Live Insights, RCA, AutoFix, AutoTune, and Automations.
• SignalStoreThe OpenTelemetry-native data platform for humans and agents. It stores every signal (logs, metrics, traces, profiles, events) once, in your cloud, and provides query and access via PromQL, SQL, CLI, and API. It includes SignalControl to manage noise.
• Dash0 CLIA command-line interface for the Dash0 observability platform, exposing primitives like dashboards, views, check rules, synthetic checks, teams, notification channels, telemetry queries, and OTLP send operations. It's designed for humans, AI coding agents, and CI/CD pipelines to manage assets as code, query telemetry, and send telemetry.
• Kubernetes OperatorAn operator for Kubernetes monitoring that automates the instrumentation and management of Dash0 observability within Kubernetes clusters, built on OpenTelemetry and open-source standards.
• Dash0 Integration HubA hub containing over 50 integrations with third-party solutions, alerting systems, observability pipelines, languages, loggers, and clouds for easy data ingestion and setup.
• Service CatalogAn operational command center that lists every service in an environment alongside key health indicators (request rates, error percentages, latency percentiles). It allows sorting and searching to quickly identify problematic services and provides detailed metrics, infrastructure details, dependencies, and all related telemetry.
• Service MapA real-time, visual representation of a distributed system's architecture. It automatically discovers and maps relationships between services based on OpenTelemetry traces, allowing users to understand dependencies, identify bottlenecks, and monitor system health at a glance.
• dash0.spans.redA built-in metric that Dash0 automatically generates from spans to power service-level rate, error, and duration views. It captures the three RED signals (Rate, Errors, Duration) for each service and operation in a single exponential histogram.
• dash0-operatorThe Kubernetes operator that automates the instrumentation and management of Dash0 observability within Kubernetes clusters.
• dash0-sdk-webThe Dash0 Web SDK for collecting frontend telemetry (traces, metrics, logs) from end-users in browser-based applications.
• otelbinA web-based tool by Dash0 for editing, visualizing, and validating OpenTelemetry Collector configurations.
• terraform-provider-dash0A Terraform provider that allows managing Dash0 dashboards, check rules, and other resources as infrastructure-as-code.

AI approach

Dash0 uses AI agents (Agent0) to automate production tasks, such as scanning environments, tracing issues to commits, drafting fixes as pull requests, and performing root cause analysis. It also provides AI Coding Insights and AutoMerge features. The platform is designed to govern what AI builds and observe everything in production, with a focus on correlating and contextualizing issues beyond telemetry silos. Agent0 can answer questions about service dependencies, investigate anomalies, generate dashboards, and create check rules.
