How much of your telemetry is noise?
Answer ten quick questions about your backend, your bill and your stack. See the OpenTelemetry® problems teams like yours usually have, and roughly what they cost.
The quick check
It takes about two minutes, and you see your results without giving us an email. The numbers come from real production telemetry we analyzed in October 2026.
- 01Which observability backends do you pay for?
- 02Roughly what do you pay per year?
- 03Is anything forcing a decision on that spend?
- 04How does that bill split between logs, metrics and traces?
- 05Where do your workloads run?
- 06Which languages run most services?
- 07How are services instrumented?
- 08What do your services talk to?
- 09Which of these sound familiar?
- 10Do you know whether personal data (emails, IDs, tokens) reaches your telemetry?
How the health check works
- 01
We analyzed real production telemetry from teams that send data to OllyGarden, usually an hour per team, in October 2026.
- 02
For each problem, we measured how much of its signal it took up: the share of spans, metric datapoints or log records. The ranges you see are typical values. They leave out the best and worst cases we found.
- 03
Your answers decide which problems apply and how much each signal counts. If most of your bill is traces, trace problems count most.
- 04
Then we account for how your backend charges. On some backends, dropping spans or sending metrics less often doesn't lower the bill, so those changes count for less, or not at all.
- 05
The dollar figure uses the middle of your spend range. It's an estimate: your contract, discounts and allowances decide the real number.
- 06
Numbers that say what a fix removed come from applying our advice to real customer bills.
About the health check
Where the numbers come from and what happens to your answers.
Is this a savings calculator?
No. It shows which problems are common in setups like yours and what they might cost. Only your own data can tell you what you'd save, and that's what the assessment is for.
Where do the numbers come from?
From real production telemetry we analyzed in October 2026, and from applying our advice to real bills. We never show numbers for a single company.
Do you store my answers?
Only if you send us a request. Until then, your answers stay in your browser. If you allow analytics, we count which options people pick, but never what you type.
What's in a telemetry quality report?
We run our checks on a sample of your telemetry. The report lists each problem we find, how much of your data it accounts for, and what fixing it is worth. Explore OllyGarden Insights →
