An app that helps you monitor your Kubernetes cluster, debug critical deployments & gives recommendations for standard practices

BotKube is a messaging bot for monitoring and debugging Kubernetes clusters.

Overview

BotKube helps you monitor your Kubernetes cluster, debug critical deployments and gives recommendations for standard practices by running checks on the Kubernetes resources. It integrates with multiple communication platforms, such as Slack, Discord, or Mattermost.

You can also execute kubectl commands on K8s cluster via BotKube which helps debugging an application or cluster.

The same kubectl capabilities inside your favorite communicator. You do not have to learn anything new! Plus, you can configure which kubectl commands BotKube can execute. See configuration for details.

Monitor any Kubernetes resource

BotKube supports literally any Kubernetes resource, including Custom Resources. For example, if you use cert-manager, you can get alerted about certificate issue, or backup failure in case you use backup tools like Velero or Kanister.

Debug anywhere, anytime

Using BotKube you can debug your apps deployed on Kubernetes from anywhere. To extract crucial information from the cluster, you can even use mobile communicator apps, like Slack. The entire team can see what steps have already been taken and avoid duplicated work.

Deploy on any Kubernetes cluster

You can deploy BotKube backend on any Kubernetes cluster. It doesn't matter whether it is K3d, managed Kubernetes on a cloud provider, or bare-metal one.
