Is Weaveworks Cortex completely open source? Does it require Weave Cloud subscription to post messages to Slack?
- bboreham 8y agoYes it is Open Source: the whole project is on GitHub, Apache 2 licenced. Posting to Slack (and OpsGenie, PagerDuty, etc) is a feature of the Prometheus AlertManager, which Cortex builds upon, no subscription required. The commercial Weave Cloud product gives you a hosted instance of the same code, storage - we ingest all your metrics and store them for a year - and a nice GUI with user logins, team permissions, etc. Plus the Deploy and Explore features which are hosted versions of two more Open Source projects.
