Coroot Logo

Coroot uses eBPF to connect in minutes. No code changes needed. It shows you exactly what broke, why it happened, and how to fix it.

Coroot incident dashboard showing root cause analysis and immediate fixes

Root cause identified

Recommended fix found

Observability shouldn't feel like detective work.

Tons of tools, zero clarity

Metrics here, traces there — and the answer? Nowhere.

Alerts that scream but don't explain

You know something's broken. But what and why? Good luck.

Fixing takes minutes — finding takes hours

Root cause analysis eats up your day. Again.

Coroot finds the root cause for you.

How Coroot Helps You Troubleshoot Instantly

Install it and start collecting

Drop in Coroot with its eBPF agent. No code changes needed. It starts collecting metrics, logs, traces, profiles, and events in minutes.

Get full visibility in one place

Coroot shows everything that matters, including 3rd-party, black-box, and legacy services, all connected across your stack.

Detect real problems, not noise

Outages, slow services, error spikes — Coroot highlights the issues that actually impact your system.

Let AI explain the root cause

Coroot's AI analyzes the data to explain what happened, what changed, and how to fix it clearly and instantly.

See It in Action

See how Coroot's automated Root Cause Analysis helped engineering teams quickly resolve complex production issues that would have taken hours to debug manually.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

No surprise bills, no volume-based pricing. Pay only for the CPU cores you're monitoring — not for data or storage.

$1 per monitored CPU core/month

Simple pricing based on your cluster size, not data volume or ingestion rates

Example: 10-node cluster × 4 vCPUs each = 40 cores = $40/month

Start with any number of cores and scale as needed. No long-term contracts or minimum spending requirements.

Self-hosted deployment means no storage limits or egress fees. Retain as much telemetry data as you need.

Metrics, logs, traces, profiles, and AI-powered root cause analysis. One price covers all observability features.

Why Teams Choose Coroot

It collects what others miss

Coroot's eBPF agent captures the deep, low-level signals that typical setups ignore — across your apps, infra, and even 3rd-party services.

Your data stays yours

Coroot runs fully in your environment. It uses AI to explain issues, but only sends minimal context — never raw telemetry.

Not just alerts — real answers

Coroot doesn't flood you with warnings. It shows you what happened, why, and how to fix it.

Works out of the box, everywhere

Kubernetes, VMs, legacy services — no code changes, no special setup. Just answers.

Observability teams love Coroot

Josh Lee

Developer Advocate

"Coroot is one of the easiest observability solutions to recommend because it is both easy to install and feature-complete, delivering immediate value out of the box, all while being built on open standards. It's the first tool I install, even using it to observe my other observability tools."

BMF

Babacar Mbaye Faye

Kafka DevOps Lead

"Coroot is a revolution in IT observability. This open source platform simplifies the analysis of metrics, logs and traces, providing valuable insights and unparalleled simplicity."

RK

Robert Kimani

Site Reliability Engineer

"For engineers and SREs tired of sifting through endless logs and fragmented metrics, Coroot offers a refreshingly intuitive yet powerful approach to modern observability."

MM

Matt Morrison

Software Engineer

"Coroot is the best open source observability stack you've never heard of. The out of the box experience is amazing. So much value with minimal effort."

AVDH

Arie Van Den Heuvel

System and Application Management Specialist

"As someone who likes things simple that can be managed by large teams, I immediately loved Coroot. It's an amazing experience to set something up in less then thirty minutes and almost immediately attain a visual knowledge of containerized applications. And if there's an issue, their team reacts quickly."
