Hi Product Hunters 👋! 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 and fight the alert-fatigue problem 💪. Although it's still in its early stages, we would love to get your feedback on our project. Keep provides the following key features: 🔖 Declarative alerting that can be easily managed and versioned in your version control and service repository. 🚨 Alerts from multiple data sources for added context and insights. 🔓 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.

@talbo Congratulations on the launch of Keep. Alert-fatigue is even worse than no alert, broken window effect . Very good insight, well done

Love it! Alerting: the bane of dev’s existence. What does a slack integration look like? (Can I customize it?)

@nadavwiz Thanks Wiz! and yes, of course you can customize it, take a look at the attached screenshot from Slack, where we used the "blocks" to create a custom alert. Checkout this https://github.com/keephq/keep/b... example to see how can you achieve that using Keep and Slack's https://api.slack.com/block-kit documentation for their blocks. Appreciate your support!

Alert fatigue is TOO real! But getting too fancy with selective monitoring can be catastrophic - how do you guys make sure the mission critical stuff doesn't get dropped on the floor with the scoring system?
