OpenTelemetry Captures Everything. Dstl8 Surfaces What Broke.
Point your OTLP exporter at Dstl8 — no new agent, nothing to rip out. Möbius AI distills the stream into the patterns and anomalies that matter and cites root cause to the exact log line.

The problem
More telemetry isn’t more answers.
You have every span and log
OpenTelemetry gives you total coverage. It doesn’t tell you which of the millions of records explains the incident.
Dashboards show symptoms, not causes
A spike on a chart tells you something changed. You still correlate logs, traces, and metrics by hand to find why.
The data is a bill, not a signal
Every attribute you export costs money downstream — and most of it is noise you’ll never query.
How it works
Root cause in three steps.
1 · Send your OTLP stream
Point your OpenTelemetry collector at Dstl8 — one endpoint, attributes preserved, nothing to re-instrument. Or brew install control-theory/dstl8/dstl8 for the terminal.
2 · Möbius AI distills the noise
Continuous runtime distillation turns your full OTLP firehose into the handful of patterns, regressions, and anomalies that actually matter.
3 · Get root cause, cited
What broke, why, and where — delivered to your terminal, IDE, or Slack, cited to the actual log line. Not a dashboard to interpret yourself.
See it work
Inside Dstl8 — service health, incidents, OTLP log patterns, and the root cause Möbius surfaces.
Why teams switch
“brew install, pointed it at our OTel collector, and Möbius was answering why is this service degrading in 90 seconds. Felt like cheating.”

Questions
Before you start.
Does it work with my existing OpenTelemetry collector?
Yes. Point your OTLP exporter at Dstl8 — it receives OpenTelemetry logs natively, attributes intact. Nothing to re-instrument.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The 14-day free trial gives you full platform access with no credit card required.
Do I have to replace my backend?
No. Dstl8 sits alongside your existing pipeline — keep your storage and dashboards; Dstl8 adds distillation and root cause on top of the same OTLP stream.
Is there a free, open-source option?
Yes. Gonzo is our MIT-licensed terminal log analysis tool with native OTLP support — brew install gonzo, no account needed. Dstl8 adds continuous analysis and Möbius AI root cause.
How is this different from Datadog or Grafana?
Dstl8 distills signal at the source instead of charging you to ingest everything, and Möbius AI hands you root cause cited to the log line instead of a dashboard to interpret yourself.
