       Show HN: 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, 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.

       | Is there or will there be a UI to show all of the things you're
       | monitoring?

         | Absolutely! We're working on the UI side of Keep; our general
         | idea is to help organizations fight the "alert-fatigue"
         | problem. The UI will allow you to connect with your existing
         | monitoring/alerting tools, see all your alerts in a centric
         | place, and get valuable insights about the alerts you already
         | have/new ones

         | thanks swyx! any use cases/features you can think of that would
         | make you use this as your alerting go-to?
