Hyground vs Dash0:
AI incident investigation that stays inside your own perimeter
Dash0 is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform with the Agent0 co-pilot. Hyground runs inside your own perimeter and investigates across the tools that you already use: Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Confluence, Git, cloud APIs, and ITSM systems. You do not need to re-platform your telemetry.
A fair starting point
Dash0 unifies metrics, logs, and traces in one OpenTelemetry-native SaaS platform. The Agent0 co-pilot reasons over the telemetry that Dash0 ingests. Which platform fits depends on two questions: how much of your stack one platform instruments, and where your data needs to live.

at a glance
What matters
Hyground
Dash0
Where it runs
Your own infrastructure, including on-premises and air-gapped sites.
SaaS only, hosted in the vendor's own cloud regions. No on-premises or air-gapped option.
What it can read
Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, cloud APIs, ITSM systems, Confluence, and Git. Each is one source among many, and Hyground reads them all from inside your perimeter. Our engineers build any other connector that you need with you during onboarding.
The OpenTelemetry data in Dash0's own pipeline, plus GitHub, GitLab, Linear, and MCP connectors.
Credentials and data plane
Both stay inside your perimeter.
Each connector gives Dash0, a SaaS vendor, credentials into your systems. The data plane stays on Dash0's side.
LLM choice
Any provider through LiteLLM, for example Azure OpenAI in your own tenant, Anthropic, Google Vertex, Bedrock, or self-hosted Ollama.
Managed Agent0. No published bring-your-own-model option.
Knowledge base
Confluence, Git history, PDF files, and Word documents. The vector store lives inside your perimeter.
GitHub, GitLab, Linear, and MCP connectors. Your knowledge passes through the Dash0 SaaS platform.
Safety model
Observes and advises. Any action requires an explicit opt-in.
Agent0 runs in a sandbox. Agent0 clones repositories, runs commands, and drafts pull requests. Write actions require human approval (since August 2026), and MCP tools that are marked as destructive require an opt-in.
OpenTelemetry-native storage
An investigation agent, not a telemetry platform. It spans the stack that you already run.
Unified metrics, logs, and traces in one SaaS platform.
Pricing model
Priced on infrastructure size, not seats. Quote on request.
Usage-based per signal, plus Agent0 credits.
Why teams choose Hyground
Where Hyground differs
Decision
When each platform fits
Dash0 and Hyground solve different problems. Dash0 is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform with an AI co-pilot. Hyground is an investigation agent that runs inside your own perimeter and spans your whole stack. The right fit depends on how much of your stack already uses OpenTelemetry, and on where your data needs to live.
Choose
Dash0
when
You are building OpenTelemetry-native from the start, and you want unified telemetry in one SaaS platform. You are also comfortable with a managed co-pilot and with usage-based billing.
FAQ
Hyground vs
Dash0
:
common
questions
Is Hyground a Dash0 alternative?
For AI incident investigation, yes, and it works across more than Dash0's own telemetry. Hyground runs inside your own perimeter and reads the observability, ticketing, code and documentation tools that you already run. Dash0 is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform, and its Agent0 co-pilot reasons over the telemetry that Dash0 ingests.
Do we have to move our telemetry to use Hyground?
No. Hyground investigates across Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Confluence, Git, cloud APIs, and ITSM systems. You do not need to re-platform your telemetry. Our engineers build any other connector that you need with you during onboarding.
Can Hyground and Dash0 run together?
Yes. Hyground reads the observability, ticketing, code, and documentation sources that you already run, and it can read Dash0 itself through Dash0's MCP server.
Can we choose the model, or host it ourselves?
Yes. Hyground connects to any LLM provider through LiteLLM, including a cloud model in your own tenant or a model that you host yourself. Agent0 is part of Dash0's managed platform, with no published bring-your-own-model option.
How do we get Hyground running, and what does it cost?
A forward deployed engineer works with your team from install to daily use. The engineer connects your stack, builds any connector that you are missing, and runs the training and workshops. Hyground is priced on the size of the infrastructure that it covers, not per seat, and you get a quote on request.
