24 alternatives to OpsBrief

Hi HN, OpsBrief is out fof beta and live today! It consolidates incidents, alerts, and key events from Slack, GitHub, PagerDuty, Teams, Discord, Datadog, and more coming soon into one daily digest and searchable timeline for faster incident response and short MTTR. The problem we solved: During incidents and daily ops, engineers waste time gathering context from 6+ tools. Check PagerDuty for alerts. Scroll Slack for discussions. Check GitHub for deployments. Check Datadog for metrics. Teams or Discord for chat. By the time you have the full picture, critical time has passed, business is…

    I've been an on-call engineer at startups where "incident management" meant someone panic-creating a Slack channel called #fire-fire-fire, or all incidents handled in the #incidents channel at the same time... and the postmortem was whatever someone remembered to write in Notion three days later. So I built a Slack bot to fix my own workflow. Figured I'd share it. What it does: "/incident start sev2 API latency spike" creates a dedicated channel, invites whoever's on-call, pins the details, and starts recording a timeline. When you run "/incident resolve", it uses GPT-4 to analyze…

    Hey HN, we’re Nico and Arseniy, co-founders of Superlog (https://superlog.sh). We're building a self-installing, self healing observability tool meant not to be opened. It has a wizard that daily sets up proper logging and an agent that investigates errors and opens PRs. Super short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhU9Mk247M. In our earlier startups, we tried Sentry, Datadog, Grafana, Dash0, and nothing was good enough. Proper telemetry and alerting still requires a ton of manual setup. We struggled with adding good logs, so debugging was tough, especially as…

    Hey HN, I am building an open source platform to make on-call better and less stressful for engineers. We are building a tool that can silence alerts and help with debugging and root cause analysis. We also want to automate tedious parts of being on-call (running runbooks manually, answering questions on Slack, dealing with Pagerduty). Here is a quick video of how it works: https://youtu.be/m_K9Dq1kZDw I hated being on-call for a couple of reasons: * Alert volume: The number of alerts kept increasing over time. It was hard to maintain existing alerts. This would lead to a lot…

    Hi HN! In all the organisations, we have worked, SDEs and EMs spend a lot of time on on-call, incident operations, ticket operations - Constantly updating everyone on the current status of an incident, figuring out who is the current Oncall in Slack threads like @dev-oncall, Missing following up on Action Items post-incident, creating a post-mortem RCA document, Spending time on creating and analysing oncall reports For each of these tasks, there is a Developer who doesn't like to spend time on these tasks and an Engineering leader who stresses maintaining this culture. This is why we…

    Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. A few months ago, we introduced here at HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34806482) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else. While talking to developers and devops, we found that a lot of companies use many tools…

    Opsflow cofounder here! We launched a bunch of things recently, some of them well received (Terragen, AWS Bootstrap). It's no secret that AWS is hard, and our mission is to make it simple. What HN crowd helped us realise is that the UI was still not simple enough. Rather confusing in fact. So in the last couple weeks we have radically simplified it based on your feedback. We have removed the unnecessarily complex concepts like Services and Environments - it's just Apps now. All options are now on the new Settings screen. Instead of Infrastructure and Software deployments there is now a…

    I built OpsOrch, an open-source orchestration layer that gives you one unified API for incidents, logs, metrics, tickets, messaging, and service metadata. It sits on top of the tools you already use (PagerDuty, Jira, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Slack, etc.) and normalizes everything into a single schema. OpsOrch doesn’t store your operational data. It just brokers requests through pluggable adapters (Go or JSON-RPC) and returns unified structures. On top of this, there’s an optional MCP server that exposes all capabilities as typed tools for LLM agents. Why? Most incident workflows today…

    Hi, I built this tool to monitor third-party cloud and SaaS services and send notifications, primarily meant for techops/SRE folks. I built this based on my past work experience where I felt a need for such a tool and had to be satisfied with patched together scripts. E.g. Getting alerted when my public cloud has incidents, my monitoring SaaS is unable to send alerts, GitHub has intermittent issues, Slack has trouble delivering messages, Stripe has payment failures for an edge case, and so on. It was important to catch these issues before they impacted my apps. For paging services, I…

    A couple of us started building an open-source tool after an on-call shift where a simple container restart turned into more hassle than it should. What should have been a 10-second task meant opening a laptop, connecting to a server, and running commands in the middle of the night. OpsiMate is our attempt to simplify that. It provides a single place to manage Docker containers, Kubernetes pods, and systemd services. We’re also working on integrations with monitoring tools so you can act on alerts and jump directly to dashboards. It’s still early and a bit rough, but already running in use.…
