The record

Purpose: Avuru Obs is an open-source, self-hosted Kubernetes observability platform for discovering service dependencies and investigating telemetry.
Collection: Its eBPF sensor discovers supported traffic without application changes; coverage depends on the kernel, runtime, and protocols.
Signals: It brings traces, metrics, and logs together in one interface and ClickHouse store for cross-signal investigation.
Service map: The service map shows callers, downstream services, inferred datastores, and service health or latency context.
OpenTelemetry: Existing OpenTelemetry data can be sent to the gateway over OTLP/HTTP on port 4318 or OTLP/gRPC on port 4317.
Other ingest protocols: The gateway also accepts Jaeger, Zipkin, Prometheus remote-write, and Loki push protocols, each disabled by default.
Integrations: A Grafana data source provides service RED, health, trace search, and cross-zone traffic; its backend plugin keeps the API token out of the browser.
Security: The open edition includes OIDC single sign-on and project roles, and the product describes authentication as enabled by default.
Telemetry storage: Telemetry storage is self-hosted; configured exporters, webhooks, or an MCP-connected assistant can send selected data to external destinations.
Data redaction: Gateway configuration drops model prompt and completion content by default, whether or not the AI module is enabled.
Optional modules: Green, cost, mesh, and AI modules are off by default; CPU profiling is described as experimental and opt-in.
Deployment requirements: The installation guide lists Helm, a reachable Kubernetes context, persistent storage for ClickHouse, and compatible Linux nodes as prerequisites.
License: The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0.
