Quickstart for HyperDX

HyperDX gives engineering teams one place to see session replays, logs, metrics, distributed traces and application errors together, instead of jumping between separate tools for each signal. It's built on ClickHouse for storage and query performance, and ingests data through standard OpenTelemetry (OTLP) on ports 4317 and 4318, so it works with existing OTel instrumentation. The "all-in-one" image used here bundles ClickHouse, the OTel collector and MongoDB alongside the HyperDX UI in a single container, aimed at demos and local testing of the full stack. Authentication is included, so dashboards, alerts and saved searches persist across sessions and users. It's positioned as a self-hosted alternative to commercial observability platforms for teams that want to keep telemetry data on their own infrastructure.

Deploy HyperDX on Elestio

1. Open the HyperDX deployment page and sign in, or create an account.
2. Choose a cloud provider, a region and a data center. Pick the region closest to your users for the lowest latency.
3. Choose an instance size. Elestio only lists the sizes that can run HyperDX properly (at least 2 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM).
4. Choose your support plan and the maintenance window for system and software updates (times are in UTC).
5. Click Create Service. HyperDX is deployed and ready in a few minutes, and you receive an email with the access details.

The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the installation guide.

Access HyperDX

Open your service in the Elestio dashboard and go to the Overview tab. Click Display Admin UI to reveal the URL, username and password of your HyperDX instance.

If the password field is blank, HyperDX does not ship with a pre-created admin user: open the admin URL to start its setup. Software without a web interface, such as databases, is reached with the credentials and port listed in the same tab. See Admin UI and credentials.
