Introduction

Odigos is an open-source observability control plane. The project’s two main goals are:

1. Automatic instrumentation - Odigos automatically instruments your applications and produces distributed traces and metrics without any code changes.
2. Collector management - Odigos automatically deploys and scales collectors according to application traffic. No need to spend time deploying and configuring collectors.

Odigos supercharges existing monitoring tools by generating and delivering higher-quality data to the backend of your choice (open-source or managed).

The name Odigos originates from Greek, meaning guide.

​

Who is Odigos for?

• Application developers - focus on writing code. Odigos leverages the power of OpenTelemetry and eBPF to automatically instrument applications. Be prepared for the next production incident with best-in-class observability data.

• Platform engineers - Odigos automatically deploys and scales collectors according to the traffic of applications. No need to waste time deploying and configuring collectors.
