HyperDX review
A focused observability platform for teams connecting logs with broader telemetry.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HyperDX is an observability platform for engineering and operations teams that need to search, visualize, and correlate logs, traces, metrics, errors, and session replays. Its interface brings these signals together for production debugging, alerting, and analysis. Open-source software, self-hosted deployment, API access, and a managed cloud option give teams multiple ways to fit it into their operating model. It is best suited to teams that want a broader telemetry view rather than a log-only workspace.
The product’s standout strength is correlated investigation. Teams can use full-text and property search across logs and traces, build dashboards for logs, metrics, traces, and sessions, and follow live logs and traces. Native JSON parsing, event-pattern clustering, alert creation, and notifications extend the workflow beyond basic collection and search. Session replay can be correlated with backend telemetry, while OpenTelemetry ingestion supports a standards-based data path. Integrations include Fluentd, Fluent Bit, Syslog, AWS services, Cloudflare, Docker, Fly.io, Heroku, Kubernetes, and Vercel.
Pricing is structured around a Free plan with up to 3 GB per month, 3-day retention, up to 1 user, and a 14-day starter trial; the published plans also show a 14-day free trial. Starter costs $20 per month and includes 50 GB per month, 30-day retention, and unlimited users. Enterprise adds custom contracts, custom retention, SAML SSO, and custom pricing. Teams choosing HyperDX should value open-source deployment and correlated telemetry views. Organizations primarily seeking a dedicated log-pipeline workflow should compare alternatives before choosing it.
