What Hacker News says

8 sources
Not associated with the project but a quick look suggests: a database (clickhouse), alertmanager, query-service, frontend are signoz components, otel* and hotrod are for distributed tracing. Otel stands for open telemetry (https://opentelemetry.io/), hotrod is a tracing demo app from jaeger: https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/tree/main/examples/h.... Without thinking too much about it, I assume that: hotrod is a demo data source pushing traces to the otel collector, which stores data in clickhouse. Frontend fetches data from clickhouse using the query service. Alert manager probably looks at traces coming in and detects anomalies, so that you can get real-time alerts when things don’t look normal.
