# OpenObserve

OpenObserve is an open-source platform that brings logs, metrics, traces, real user monitoring and LLM observability into one system. It stores telemetry as columnar Parquet files written in Rust on the DataFusion engine, with no search index to build. It includes an AI SRE agent that correlates signals across logs, metrics and traces to help triage incidents.
