Best / Error tracking

Best open-source Error tracking

The best self-hosted error-tracking split in the c17.io catalog is GlitchTip for an MIT Sentry-compatible box (the published Sentry / Bugsnag / Rollbar / Airbrake stack), Sentry when you want that large FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0 stack (not OSI) — /compare/glitchtip-vs-sentry, and SigNoz when the job is MIT-community OpenTelemetry APM (skip ee/) rather than a Sentry DSN. This is not Sentry's every performance or session SKU. Logs stay on /best/log-management.

FAQ

GlitchTip or Sentry?
GlitchTip if you want the published MIT path. Sentry if you will run that FSL stack — /compare/glitchtip-vs-sentry.
Rollbar, Airbrake, or Bugsnag?
Same published error inbox — /replace/rollbar, /replace/airbrake, and /replace/bugsnag. GlitchTip is not a Bugsnag-native SDK drop-in.
Is this Datadog?
Dashboards stay on /replace/datadog (Grafana OSS). This page is an error inbox.
Are these free?
GlitchTip is MIT. Sentry is FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0, not OSI. SigNoz community is MIT; skip ee/. You pay hosting. Template users never pay c17.
How do I deploy it?
Open /stacks/glitchtip-errors. Persist Postgres. Point SENTRY_DSN at your instance.
