Observability, Analytics and Monitoring Guides

Sentry Team is $26/mo billed annually. Ten alternatives: self-hosted Temps, GlitchTip, SigNoz and HyperDX, plus SaaS Bugsnag, Rollbar and Honeybadger.

The 6 best self-hosted session replay tools in 2026: Temps, OpenReplay, rrweb, PostHog, Matomo and Highlight's open-source repo, compared on licence.

Six FullStory alternatives for session replay in 2026: Temps, OpenReplay, PostHog, LogRocket, Hotjar and Microsoft Clarity, compared on self-hosting.

Self-hosted Plausible alternatives for 2026: Temps, Umami, Matomo, PostHog, Rybbit, GoatCounter and Ackee compared on cost, cookies, scope and setup.

Set up OpenTelemetry tracing in Node.js, Python and Go: SDK instrumentation, an authenticated OTLP exporter and one self-hosted backend, not five services.

PostHog alternatives for 2026: Temps, Umami, Matomo, OpenReplay, Plausible, Mixpanel, Amplitude and Clarity, compared on pricing, replay and self-hosting.

Track recognized AI crawler requests by agent, provider, page, purpose, and response status—without confusing a User-Agent match with training or citations.

Openship and Temps under the hood: TypeScript and OpenResty vs Rust and Pingora, Compose handling, SSH targets and built-in observability, from source.

Coolify runs single-container Postgres; Temps adds pg_auto_failover HA, WAL-G backups and multi-node clustering. Coolify still wins on templates and community.

Privacy-first analytics and session replay platforms in 2026: Temps, Plausible + OpenReplay, Matomo, Umami and PostHog, compared on cookies and hosting.

Error tracking without per-seat pricing: Temps, GlitchTip, self-hosted Sentry and Bugsink compared on cost as your team grows, and what each gives up.

Temps is the only self-hosted PaaS bundling deploys, analytics, session replay, error tracking and uptime in one free binary. Coolify and Dokploy don't.

Replace Sentry and Plausible together: Temps adds error tracking and web analytics in one self-hosted install. GlitchTip, Umami, Matomo and Ackee compared.

How Temps merges requests, OpenTelemetry traces, errors and revenue events into one time-ordered timeline, with errors linked to the traces that produced them.

Set track_opens and track_clicks on the Temps send API for a tracking pixel, rewritten links, and a per-event timeline — no SendGrid needed.

TimescaleDB vs ClickHouse for self-hosted analytics: joins, mutability, compression, backups and on-call burden, plus when running both is worth it.

8 SaaS tools you can replace with self-hosting in 2026: Vercel, Sentry, Plausible, FullStory, Pingdom and more, what each costs, and which ones Temps bundles.

Add web analytics without third-party scripts: serve tracking from your own domain so fewer blockers hide your traffic. DIY, Umami and Temps compared.

Add session replay without FullStory: rrweb-based recording behind one React provider, privacy masking, storage math and a minimal DIY build, self-hosted.

Set up error tracking without Sentry: point your existing Sentry SDK at a self-hosted DSN or build a basic tracker. Grouping, source maps and alerts covered.

Build self-hosted uptime monitoring: scheduled HTTP checks, a state machine that stops false alerts, SLA math and alerting, plus Uptime Kuma, Gatus and Temps.

Add a status page to your app for free: build one in ~80 lines, run Gatus or Upptime, or feed one from Temps monitors. Statuspage's free plan has caps.

Build conversion funnels without Google Analytics: a first-party event schema, SQL for step conversion and drop-off, and self-hosted tools on your own data.

Make your site crawlable by AI agents: which bots train, search or fetch for users (GPTBot vs OAI-SearchBot), plus robots.txt, llms.txt and markdown serving.
