Open Source Windows Observability Tools

Grafana Open Source is a leading open-source visualization and observability platform that lets you query, visualize, alert on, and explore your data—regardless of where it’s stored. With support for 100+ data source plugins (such as Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, SQL/NoSQL databases, OpenTelemetry, and more), you can unify metrics, logs, traces, and other observability signals in one place. Grafana OSS empowers you to build dynamic, reusable dashboards with rich visualizations, template variables, interactive filtering, and cross-panel linking. Its Explore mode enables ad-hoc queries and side-by-side comparisons of time ranges, queries, and data sources. Grafana also includes built-in alerting, allowing you to define threshold-based rules and send notifications to external systems (e.g. Slack, PagerDuty, OpsGenie). Backed by a strong community and open governance, Grafana OSS is free to use, modify, and deploy under the AGPL-3.0 license.

QuestDB is a high-performance, open-source SQL database for applications in financial services, IoT, machine learning, DevOps and observability. It includes endpoints for PostgreSQL wire protocol, high-throughput schema-agnostic ingestion using InfluxDB Line Protocol, and a REST API for queries, bulk imports, and exports. QuestDB implements ANSI SQL with native extensions for time-oriented language features. These extensions make it simple to correlate data from multiple sources using relational and time series joins. QuestDB achieves high performance from a column-oriented storage model, massively-parallelized vector execution, SIMD instructions, and various low-latency techniques. The entire codebase was built from the ground up in Java and C++, with no dependencies, and is 100% free from garbage collection. We provide a live demo provisioned with the latest QuestDB release and sample datasets.
