Go SDK

Go Monitoring and Error Tracking

One platform for your Go services: catch panics and errors with full stack traces, trace requests across services, watch queries and infrastructure, and get alerted before users notice.

Go monitoring without stitching together five tools

Go services are built for throughput and concurrency, which is exactly what makes failures hard to see. A goroutine panics in the background, a downstream call slows under load, or a query degrades after a deploy, and the only signal is a quiet drop in success rate. Effective Go monitoring means catching panics and errors with the full stack trace, following a request across services, and tying every regression back to the release that caused it.

AllStak brings that together in one platform. Our first-class Go SDK (github.com/allstak/allstak-go) captures errors, panics, structured logs, HTTP requests, database queries, and spans through concurrency-safe workers, with native integrations for net/http, Chi, Gin, GORM, and robfig/cron. The same platform also runs your log management, infrastructure and uptime monitoring, SSL checks, security scanning, and alerting, so you stop paying for and switching between separate vendors. One platform, one bill, predictable SAR pricing, and a free tier to start.

What you can monitor in Go

From the first panic to the slowest query, the Go SDK feeds a single real-time dashboard that connects errors, traces, requests, releases, and infrastructure.

Errors and panics

Capture errors and recovered panics with full stack traces from runtime.Callers. Similar failures are grouped automatically and enriched with user, request, and release context so you fix the cause, not one occurrence.

Distributed tracing

Follow a request across goroutines and services with context propagation and spans via StartSpan. AllStak speaks an OpenTelemetry-friendly wire format, so traces stitch together across your stack.

Requests and queries

Inbound HTTP middleware and an outbound RoundTripper record request latency and status, while the GORM plugin and query-capture API surface slow database calls behind each endpoint.

Releases and deploys

Set Release and Environment on the client to tag every event by deploy. See exactly which version introduced a regression and whether a new error is spiking right after you ship.

Infrastructure and uptime

A lightweight host agent reports CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, and Docker, alongside website and uptime checks and SSL certificate monitoring, so app errors and host health live side by side.

Smart alerts and incidents

Get alerted on new error groups, error spikes, latency, downtime, or expiring certificates, then triage as incidents with your team. Tune rules so signal stays high and noise stays low.

Add AllStak in minutes

Install the SDK and AllStak starts capturing errors, requests, and performance automatically.

What you see in AllStak

Error detail with Go stack traces

Open any error or panic to see the full Go stack trace, the failing release and environment, request and user context, and how often it is happening, all on one screen.

Traces and slow paths

Drill into a trace to see spans across handlers, outbound calls, and GORM queries, with timing on each step so the slowest part of a request is obvious at a glance.

Unified real-time dashboard

Watch errors, request throughput, host metrics, and uptime update live in one place, so you correlate an error spike with a deploy or a struggling host without leaving the page.

Why Go teams choose AllStak

  • A real, first-class Go SDK with native net/http, Chi, Gin, GORM, and robfig/cron integrations, not a thin wrapper.
  • Concurrency-safe by design: background workers batch and flush so monitoring never blocks your request path.
  • One platform for errors, logs, tracing, infrastructure, uptime, SSL, and security — one bill instead of five vendors.
  • A simpler alternative to Sentry with predictable SAR pricing and a genuine free tier to start.
  • Saudi-based, with SAR pricing and a free tier.
  • An OpenTelemetry-friendly wire format and drop-in SDKs across languages, so Go services trace cleanly alongside the rest of your stack.

Go monitoring FAQ

How do I add monitoring to a Go app?

Install the AllStak Go SDK with go get github.com/allstak/allstak-go, create a client with your API key, and wrap your handler with the middleware. Error tracking, request capture, and performance monitoring start automatically. Full steps are in our Go setup docs at /docs.

Is AllStak free for Go?

Yes. AllStak has a free tier you can start on today, with predictable SAR pricing as you grow. The Go SDK and every capability — errors, tracing, logs, infrastructure, alerts — are part of the same platform and one bill.

Which Go frameworks are supported?

The Go SDK has native integrations for net/http, Chi, Gin, GORM, and robfig/cron. Inbound HTTP middleware, an outbound RoundTripper, structured logging, and distributed tracing work across any Go service, even without a framework integration.

Does it capture panics and goroutine errors?

Yes. The SDK captures errors and recovered panics with full stack traces. Panics in background goroutines are captured through recover helpers, so failures away from the main request path still reach your dashboard.

How is this different from Sentry?

AllStak is an all-in-one platform: error tracking is just one part, alongside log management, infrastructure and uptime monitoring, SSL checks, security scanning, tracing, and alerting. That means one platform and one bill instead of bolting separate tools together.

Will it slow down my service?

No. The SDK is concurrency-safe and uses per-signal background workers that batch and flush asynchronously, so telemetry stays off your request path. Queue size, batch size, and flush interval are all configurable.
