Keep – Open-source alerting CLI
Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. We're thrilled to announce that we're open-sourcing our alerting CLI tool, Keep (https://github.com/keephq/keep). Designed by developers for developers, Keep streamlines and simplifies alerting, making it a first-class citizen within the development process. Think of Keep as Prometheus Alertmanager but for all observability tools, with a simple and intuitive (GitHub actions-like) syntax. We believe that alerting has historically been neglected in existing monitoring platforms, leading to subpar alerting practices. With Keep,…
In plain words
Keep is an open-source command-line tool for managing alerts across multiple observability platforms. Built for developers, it uses a GitHub Actions-like syntax to define alerts declaratively, allowing configurations to be versioned in code repositories. The tool functions as a unified alerting layer similar to Prometheus Alertmanager but supports various observability sources, addressing what its creators identify as historically neglected alerting practices in existing monitoring platforms.

Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. We're thrilled to announce that we're open-sourcing our alerting CLI tool, Keep (https://github.com/keephq/keep). Designed by developers for developers, Keep streamlines and simplifies alerting, making it a first-class citizen within the development process. Think of Keep as Prometheus Alertmanager but for all observability tools, with a simple and intuitive (GitHub actions-like) syntax. We believe that alerting has historically been neglected in existing monitoring platforms, leading to subpar alerting practices. With Keep, we aim to change that. Although it's still in its early stages, we would love to get your feedback on our project. Keep provides the following key features: 1. Declarative alerting that can be easily managed and versioned in your version control and service repository. 2. Alerts from multiple data sources for added context and insights. 3. Freedom from vendor lock-in, making it easier to switch to a different observability tool if needed. Some of the features we plan to add in the future include: - Integration with CI/CD processes to simplify alerts maintenance and testing. - Scoring system to assess the alert's urgency and provide relevant information. - Slack integration to keep track of alerts over time. - More providers, conditions, and other enhancements. We invite you to give Keep a try (https://github.com/keephq/keep) and share your thoughts with us. Your feedback will help us make Keep the best it can be.
