What it does
Coroot is an observability platform with Community and Enterprise editions. Its official materials describe metrics, logs, traces, and profiles gathered with eBPF, service maps, health inspections, SLO tracking, alerting, and deployment and cost monitoring. It can be deployed in Kubernetes and Docker environments, with installation options for Linux distributions. AI-powered root cause analysis is available in Enterprise or through a Cloud integration for Community Edition.
Telemetry organized around services
Coroot brings metrics, logs, traces, and profiles into a service-oriented monitoring workflow. Its official materials describe eBPF-based collection that can work without application code changes, alongside OpenTelemetry support. Service maps, health summaries, predefined inspections, SLO tracking, and alerting help teams investigate problems in the context of the applications they affect. The product also documents deployment tracking, continuous profiling, and cloud cost monitoring.
The Community Edition quick start walks through deploying Coroot with Helm on Kubernetes and accessing the service through a browser. Installation documentation also covers Docker, Docker Swarm, Linux distributions, and a Windows agent that reports host telemetry to an existing Coroot instance. Self-hosted installation has a documented Linux kernel requirement of version 4.16 or newer.
Community and Enterprise editions
Community Edition is free and open source under Apache 2.0; Enterprise is a paid subscription. The pricing page lists a per-monitored-core monthly starting rate for Standard and contact-sales pricing for Premium. The final cost depends on the monitored fleet and contract details. AI-powered root cause analysis is available in Enterprise or through a Coroot Cloud integration for Community Edition users, so check edition terms before relying on that capability.
