Botkube

What Botkube is

Botkube is a Kubernetes monitoring and troubleshooting tool that sends event notifications to chat platforms. It offers customizable alert rules and filters, and its assistant can use connected tools and documentation to investigate causes, suggest troubleshooting steps, and generate commands. It can also produce Kubernetes manifests and guided runbooks, run health checks, and assemble incident details into root-cause or post-mortem reports. Listed integrations include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Mattermost, PagerDuty, Helm, Argo CD, Flux CD, ChatGPT, Keptn, Kasten, and Prometheus. Slack, Discord, and Mattermost are documented as two-way integrations, and one agent can connect multiple platforms. Botkube can run locally or be self-hosted. Its feature map lists multi-cluster support for Discord and Mattermost, but not Slack. The product is aimed at platform engineers and SREs, and can let application developers troubleshoot without CLI access. It began in 2019 as a Kubernetes messaging bot. The free plan covers up to 5 nodes in one cluster, 1,000 AI tokens, and four hours of data retention. Team costs $10 a month, billed at $10 per node per month; pricing is in beta.
