This Sentry and Datadog Replacement Lets You Keep Your Existing SDKs and Agents

We've all been there. Your bill hits some absurd number, and then you decide it's time to move on to a new Sentry/Datadog alternative. Then you're met with instructions for how to adopt an entirely new toolset. This is one of the primary reasons I built Moneat.

With Moneat, swapping over between the two tools is a breeze. You change a DSN, potentially some auth tokens, and your service or app is now sending data to Moneat without any other code changes.

Sentry SDK

Already using a Sentry SDK? Just update the DSN to point at your Moneat instance. That's it.

import * as Sentry from "@sentry/node";

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "https://<public_key>@api.moneat.io/api/<project_id>",
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

Your DSN is available in Projects → [Your Project] → Settings. All 90+ Sentry SDK platforms (JavaScript, Python, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Go, Ruby, etc.) work out of the box.

Datadog Agent

Already running the Datadog Agent? Update your datadog.yaml to redirect telemetry to Moneat:

# /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml
container_lifecycle:
  dd_url: https://api.moneat.io
container_image:
  dd_url: https://api.moneat.io
database_monitoring:
  metrics:
    dd_url: https://api.moneat.io
  samples:
    dd_url: https://api.moneat.io
  activity:
    dd_url: https://api.moneat.io
apm_config:
  profiling_dd_url: https://ingest.moneat.io/profiling/v1/input

Then run the agent with your Moneat API key:

docker run \
  -e DD_API_KEY=<YOUR_KEY> \
  -v /path/to/datadog.yaml:/etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml:ro \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
  -v /proc/:/host/proc/:ro \
  -v /sys/fs/cgroup/:/host/sys/fs/cgroup:ro \
  --pid host \
  gcr.io/datadoghq/agent:7

Your host will appear in Monitoring → Hosts within a few minutes. API keys are managed under Settings → Agent Keys.

Pricing That Makes Sense

Enable whatever features you want. We don't charge per-host fees. All features, with a few exceptions like metrics, are ingestion based. That means you'll only ever pay for what you use. I mean, why do we care how many features you have enabled, or how many hosts you're using?

Moneat is also open-source and self-hostable.
