Dash0 acquires Polar Signals
At real scale, most telemetry is never looked at, yet it is stored and paid for in full. SignalControl is the ingestion pipeline in every Dash0 account: it filters, samples, and aggregates telemetry the moment it arrives, before anything is stored. Nothing extra to buy, and until you create a rule, everything passes through untouched.

With Dash0, we have found an OpenTelemetry-native solution that provides the flexibility we need. With the support of the open standard OpenTelemetry, we are able to handle public resources responsibly.
Cut volume aggressively and keep every answer your dashboards, alerts, and SLOs depend on.
Sampling decisions are made after the whole trace is visible, across every collector and cluster involved. Keep what matters, sample out routine successes, and change the rules live with no collector restart.
Rate, error, and duration metrics are computed from 100% of spans before sampling drops anything. Sampling changes which traces you keep, never what your dashboards say.
Aggregate metrics temporally (downsample high-frequency scrapes to the resolution you actually chart) or spatially (collapse per-pod series into per-service), with the aggregate staying exact.
Decide what gets stored, and see the proof of every decision.
Filter known noise at ingestion, for every signal type. Each filter charts exactly what it catches over time, so you always know which rules earn their keep.
Convert chosen attributes of spans and logs into metric series: latency histograms and counters computed before sampling, so they reflect all traffic.
Everything SignalControl drops is visible per rule, kept versus dropped, in the UI.
Same rules, two places to run them.
Send telemetry exactly as you do today and configure everything in Dash0. Included with every account.
The Edge collector runs in your Kubernetes cluster as a gateway behind your existing central collector. Filtering, sampling, and RED metrics happen before egress, and nothing upstream changes.
Manage rules in the Dash0 UI or as code, and changes push to collectors live. Your existing destinations keep receiving exactly what they receive today.
SignalControl is included with every Dash0 account. Until you create a rule, everything passes through untouched.
