otel-tui is a terminal-based OpenTelemetry viewer that receives traces, metrics, and logs via OTLP (gRPC/HTTP) and displays them in a TUI. It also supports Zipkin, Prometheus, and Datadog signal formats and is inspired by otel-desktop-viewer.

Use cases

  • view opentelemetry traces in the terminal
  • inspect spans and service topology locally
  • debug telemetry from an instrumented app without a backend
  • view logs and metrics from OTLP exporters
  • receive zipkin or datadog traces in a local viewer
  • scrape prometheus targets and view metrics in a TUI

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight local OpenTelemetry collector with a terminal UI
  • you're developing instrumented services and need quick trace/log/metric inspection
  • you prefer terminal tools over web dashboards like Jaeger UI

When to avoid

  • you need persistent storage or long-term telemetry retention
  • you need a shared/team dashboard or alerting
  • you need full OpenTelemetry Collector processing pipelines
