HiAi Observe: All-in-One Observability
June 13, 2026 3 min min read
HiAi Observe is a lightweight, self-hosted observability platform combining error tracking, uptime monitoring, infrastructure insights, log viewing, and AI agent tracing in a single container.
## Observability, Simplified
For indie developers, small teams, and AI agents, monitoring the health and performance of applications can be a daunting task. Traditional observability solutions often require managing multiple tools, each with its own setup, learning curve, and cost. HiAi Observe changes this by combining the essentials of error tracking, uptime monitoring, infrastructure insights, log viewing, and AI tracing into a single, lightweight, and self-hosted platform.
## What Is HiAi Observe?
HiAi Observe is an all-in-one observability solution designed to answer three key questions:
* Is everything working?
* What broke and why?
* What are my agents actually doing?
It replaces the need for separate tools like Sentry, Uptime Kuma, Beszel, Dozzle, and custom LLM tracing solutions. With a footprint of less than 512 MB of RAM, it is optimized for small servers and VPS environments, making it ideal for developers who need a powerful yet resource-efficient solution.
## Why HiAi Observe?
### 1. Fully Self-Hosted and Open Source
HiAi Observe is MIT-licensed, ensuring that your data remains on your own infrastructure. There are no restrictive licenses or SaaS lock-ins, giving you complete control and privacy.
### 2. Five Tools in One
Instead of juggling multiple platforms, HiAi Observe unifies error tracking, uptime monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, log viewing, and AI tracing into a single container. This simplifies your workflow, reduces complexity, and lowers costs.
### 3. Easy to Set Up and Use
* **Single container, single port**: Start your observability stack with minimal effort.
* **Drop-in replacement for Sentry**: Switch from Sentry by simply updating your configuration—no need to rewrite your code.
* **AI-native**: Built with native support for AI workflows, including Mastra, Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot. It includes everything needed for AI systems to query and integrate it seamlessly.
### 4. Designed for Small Teams and AI Agents
HiAi Observe is built for developers and teams who need clear answers, not complexity. Whether you’re debugging an issue, monitoring uptime, or tracking AI agent activity, it provides the insights you need without the overhead.
## Key Features
* **Error Tracking**: Captures errors, groups issues automatically, and provides stack traces and source maps.
* **Uptime Monitoring**: Monitors HTTP endpoints, tracks response times, and provides public status pages.
* **Infrastructure**: Tracks Docker container stats, host CPU, memory, and disk usage with real-time dashboards.
* **Log Viewer**: Streams logs in real time, supports full-text search, and filters by container.
* **AI Agent Observability**: Tracks Mastra workflows, visualizes AI agent activity, and estimates token usage and costs.
## AI-Native by Design
HiAi Observe is built for the AI era, offering:
* **Mastra integration**: Native support for tracking AI workflows, tools, agents, and token usage.
* **MCP Server**: Allows AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to query observability data directly.
* **TypeScript SDK**: Easy integration with any AI or non-AI project.
* **OpenTelemetry support**: Compatible with any OTLP-compatible system.
For AI agents, HiAi Observe provides tools to fetch real-time insights, such as checking dashboards, tracking AI costs, and listing issues—all without manual intervention.
## Getting Started
HiAi Observe is designed for simplicity. Setup involves cloning the repository, configuring a few environment variables, and starting the container. The dashboard is then accessible via a web browser, and AI assistants can even handle the setup for you.
