Cost-effective managed observability across your systems
xScaler provides cost-effective observability across applications, infrastructure and AI. Collect and store telemetry, explore your systems through dashboards and queries, and receive alerts, with central management for your telemetry collector fleet.
Compare the full cost of running observability
Compare xScaler with your current setup using the same telemetry volume, retention, query needs and support requirements. Include the engineering time spent operating and maintaining the service.
From collection to investigation and alerts
Use xScaler to investigate application, infrastructure and AI telemetry in one platform. OpenTelemetry and Prometheus-compatible workflows support adoption, and BYO Grafana lets your team keep existing dashboards.
- Collect telemetry and manage collector agents and fleets centrally
- Store and query metrics, logs and traces with managed operations
- Explore data in Insights, build dashboards and configure alerts
- Start migration with a selected workload and validate existing queries
Managed observability choices
| Approach | Operating model | What to assess |
|---|---|---|
| xScaler Labs | Managed observability from collection to alerts, with collector fleet management | Cost for the same workload and support for your required workflows |
| Run it yourself | Your team configures and operates the observability stack | Infrastructure spending, maintenance and on-call capacity |
| Another managed platform | The provider operates the services included in your plan | Required capabilities, integrations, service terms and total cost |

FAQ
What does managed observability include?
xScaler covers collection, storage, exploration and notification across applications, infrastructure and AI. This includes dashboards, alerting, telemetry collector fleet management and managed storage and query operations.
Is this a replacement for Datadog?
Evaluate xScaler against the Datadog workflows your team uses, including collection, investigation, dashboards and alerts. Compare cost for the same workload and verify each required integration and feature before deciding what to migrate.
Can I use existing Grafana dashboards?
Yes. xScaler supports BYO Grafana. Validate the queries and data sources used by your existing dashboards during evaluation.
How quickly can a team get started?
Start with one workload and route its telemetry to xScaler. Validate collection, queries, dashboards and alerts before expanding. The time needed depends on your instrumentation and integrations.
