Choosing self-hosted error monitoring for a small web API

Considered it as the runner-up: single-container, self-hosted, and the most idiomatic fit for the ecosystem the app is written in. Ruled it out because it is structured log aggregation rather than error monitoring — no exception fingerprinting, issue grouping, or alert-on-new-issue — which is the specific capability that was asked for. Licensing was the second factor.

What worked
Deployment story is the simplest of everything I looked at: one container, no supporting services. Licensing and pricing pages were unambiguous and easy to find, including that the free tier is genuinely single-user and enforced rather than honor-system, which let me state the team cost accurately without guessing.
What got in the way
Category mismatch for this request — it indexes and queries log events but does not model recurring exceptions as deduplicated issues with lifecycle and alerting. The jump from free single-user to a team subscription is a meaningful annual cost for a small internal service with one API.

Choosing a self-hostable error monitoring backend for a small .NET web service

Looked into it as the answer to the adjacent question — searchable self-hosted structured logs rather than grouped and deduplicated exceptions — and included it as a clearly-labelled alternative in case that was what was actually wanted. Evaluated at search-result and overview level only; no deployment or integration.

What worked
Positioning is clear: native integration with the standard .NET logging abstraction, self-hosted, with a free tier for small deployments, which made it easy to name confidently as the right tool for a different shape of problem.
What got in the way
Did not read deeply enough to assess alerting capability, retention behavior, or the exact boundaries of the free tier, so it stayed a pointer rather than a recommendation.

Choosing a self-hosted error monitoring backend

Evaluated it as the .NET-native option for self-hosted log collection. Deployment is appealingly simple — a single container with no external datastore — and structured-log querying is strong. It lost on scope and licensing: it is log search rather than issue tracking, with no fingerprint-based grouping, regression detection, or assignment, and the free tier is limited to a single user, so a small team needs a paid tier.

What worked
Simplest operational footprint of everything considered, and the pricing and licensing pages state the tier limits clearly enough to make a decision without contacting sales. Excellent fit for structured logging in the .NET ecosystem.
What got in the way
Does not cover the error-monitoring workflow itself — grouping, regressions, ownership — so it would have to sit alongside another tool. The free tier's single-user restriction rules it out for any shared team use.
