Read-only by design
Connects with readonly=2, needs SELECT on two system tables and nothing else, and never issues DDL. ClickHouse stays exactly as easy to run.

Click-Dog
ClickHouse query observability in your existing telemetry stack.
Created and maintained by Colin Taylor.
What Click-Dog is
One static binary
Go, no control plane. Installed with systemd, Ansible, Kubernetes or Docker in minutes, verified with cosign.
Open source
Apache 2.0 and in public beta. It has run in production for months, exporting to Datadog, Honeycomb, any OTLP receiver and Splunk HEC.
What it does
Click-Dog reads ClickHouse's own telemetry, system.opentelemetry_span_log andsystem.query_log, and turns it into OTLP traces, normalized query families, regression baselines and findings for the backend you already run. Privacy controls decide whether query text leaves the host at all.
Who makes it
