Rootprint

Open-source, self-hosted logs and traces with full-text search on object-storage-backed indexes.

Rootprint gives engineering teams a focused log explorer, trace waterfalls, a service health dashboard, OpenTelemetry ingestion, and team access control, without sending telemetry to a hosted SaaS.

• Search on object storage - Query indexes stored on S3, MinIO, R2, GCS, Azure Blob, or local disk.
• Open ingestion - Send logs and traces through OTLP Protobuf or HTTP from the OpenTelemetry Collector, Vector, Fluent Bit, or any other OTLP-compatible source.
• Log explorer - Severity-aware rows, a frequency histogram, field discovery with pinning, query autocomplete, saved views, detail drawers, share links, and result exports.
• Traces - Open a trace from any log, or paste a trace ID into the search box. The waterfall shows per-span timing, attributes, and events, and every span links back to its logs.
• Service health - Request rate, error rate, and p95 latency per service, endpoints ranked by time spent, outbound dependencies, and a filterable list of failing spans.
• Team access - Invite users, manage roles, create scoped ingest keys, service accounts, and personal API keys, and enable Google, GitHub, or any OpenID Connect provider for SSO
• Admin controls - Manage indexes, sources, field configuration, activity, and Quickwit.
• Open source - Apache-2.0 licensed.

Trace waterfall	Service health

curl -o docker-compose.yml https://docs.rootprint.io/files/docker-compose.full.yaml
docker compose up -d

Open:

http://localhost:8282

Then:

1. Create the first admin account.
2. Create an ingest key in Settings -> API keys.
3. Send logs to the bundled OpenTelemetry index (otel-logs-v0_9). The same key ships spans to POST /v1/traces.
4. Search them from the Rootprint UI.
