Introduction
In this section you will get a quick overview of the background of Dash0 and the structure of this documentation.
Get started
Here you find everything to get started with Dash0. From sign-up over sending data to getting information about the initial views in Dash0.
Key Concepts
Dash0 is built on a consistent and unified concept that ensures a seamless and intuitive experience across all its features.
Resources
In Dash0, everything revolves around resources because they are the core of what users care about. Instead of focusing narrowly on individual signals like metrics, traces, or logs, Dash0 provides a resource-centric approach.As an OpenTelemetry-native platform, Dash0 adheres to semantic conventions for defining and modeling resources, ensuring a complete picture even when data sources are fragmented.
Tracing
Dash0's Tracing view provides an excellent overview of all spans and simplifies analyzing issues based on span information.
Logging
Dash0's Logging view shows all your log data and is an easy entry point when investigating an issue based on log records.The graphs provide powerful high-level views, and the filtering capabilities allow you to find what you are looking for easily. The provided context will enable you to extend filters quickly or immediately jump to a different view, allowing you to analyze an issue from a different angle.
Metrics
One of the key signals of Observability is metrics. Find out how Dash0 allows you to quickly navigate through your metrics and use them in alerts and dashboards.
Alerting
Dash0 Checks offer crucial insights into your resources like infrastructure and services, empowering proactive detection and swift response to performance issues and outages. By setting up checks to monitor key metrics and thresholds, organizations can receive instant alerts, allowing them to address issues before they affect customers or disrupt operations.Easily keep track of critical changes by checking metrics, logs, and RED Metrics based on tracing telemetry. With Dash0 Checks, you can:Streamline monitoring and response workflowsImprove operational efficiencyMaximize system performance
Dashboards
One of Dash0 design principles is having a clean UI that allows quick navigation using context. Sometimes very specific views based on user or use-case requirements are necessary. Dashboards allow you to tailor your view on your Observability information.
Dash0 Kubernetes Operator
For monitoring your Kubernetes cluster and workloads there is no faster and easier way than using Dash0's Kubernetes Operator. Build on open standards and tailored for the optimal user experience. Simply install the operator into your cluster to get OpenTelemetry data flowing from your Kubernetes workloads to Dash0.
FAQ
Should you have further questions that have not been answered, this is the section to look at.
Quotas and Limits
This page documents fine-grained limits and quotas for sending data to and querying data from Dash0 that apply to your configuration and telemetry you send to Dash0. To the best of our knowledge, you should never hit any of these limits with OpenTelemetry automatic instrumentations or any normal observability use-case.
