Unconference Session: What Alternatives to KeepHQ?
summary
KeepHQ is an alert manager that connects to 100–120 providers to dedupe, group and create correlated incidents; Elastic’s acquisition slows upstream development and leaves an OpenSearch on‑prem connector PR unmerged. Options are fork the project, extend OpenSearch’s alerting with dedupe and workflow features, or replace KeepHQ with an agentic autonomous‑agent prototype that is already tested to manage alerts and run workflows; tradeoffs are engineering effort to reimplement many connectors versus integrating limited core features quickly.
