Anyone else think tooling is getting expensive for no reason? E.g: New Relic

I feel the same way with DataDog. All I need is a tool to monitor logs. First I tried Signoz and the docker gave me an error on clickhouse. Then I tried Loki but the docker agent never sent the logs and I received no labels although I received a test one I sent. I tried azure log analytics and lost the plot after creating about 15 services. Paying a premium to DataDog just for log analytics seems to be an overkill

SigNoz has pretty broad compatibility with whatever docker environment, if you're interested in trying it out you may want to join the community slack and get it working: https://signoz.io/slack

Please don't take this wrong but if you want to adopt a new observability solution you'll need to invest some time in it. Signoz and Loki work well. If you can't set them up in a day it's time to look elsewhere but you really need to have a serious crack at them first.

Edit: typo

Your suggestion is valid and I did spend about 2 days in total across all 3. the least amount of time being the azure log analytics. I spent 10 minutes setting up the datadog agent and paying for that convenience.
