# Futureproof.dev

## Click-Dog

ClickHouse query observability in your existing telemetry stack. Created and maintained by [Colin Taylor](https://futureproof.dev/profile).

Click-Dog reads ClickHouse's own telemetry, `system.opentelemetry_span_log` and `system.query_log`, and turns it into OTLP traces, normalized query families, regression baselines and findings for the backend you already run: Datadog, Honeycomb, any OTLP receiver, or Splunk HEC.

- **Read-only by design.** Connects with `readonly=2`, needs `SELECT` on two system tables and nothing else, and never issues DDL.
- **One static binary.** Go, no control plane, installed with systemd, Ansible, Kubernetes or Docker in minutes.
- **Open source.** Apache 2.0, public beta, and it has run in production for months.
