Dash0 acquires Polar Signals

Service Views and a new Service Map

Today, we’re launching Dash0 Services in Beta. We’ve turned your OpenTelemetry data into a real-time, living map of your entire system. No proprietary agents, no manual configuration - just the payoff for the instrumentation work you’ve already done.

📊 Service Catalogue

Get a bird’s-eye view of your system health or dive deep into specific code paths.

  • The Command Center: A high-level list of every service.

  • Infrastructure Resources: See "Failed Checks" on Resources alongside your APM metrics.

Endpoint-Level Granularity: Use the **Operations Tab **to see which specific operation is failing, even when the rest of the service looks healthy.

🗺️ Service Map

We had a Service Map before so what's new?

  • Customizable Views: Save your preferred filters to quickly see the services most relevant to your work by default.

  • Dynamic Traffic Visualization: Easily discover traffic flows and paths within your service topology with overlaid particles.

  • Grouped External Services: Explore external services organized by similarity, reducing clutter and complexity compared to the full internal map.

We use OpenTelemetry semantic conventions to automatically draw the connection between your services.

  • Automatic Discovery: Connections are derived live from your tracing data.

  • Visualize the Blast Radius: RED metrics (Requests, Errors, Duration) are overlaid on every connection so you can see exactly where a failure starts and where it spreads.
