Keep

What is Keep?

Keep is an open-source AIOps alert management platform that aggregates alerts from all your monitoring tools — Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch, and more — and uses AI to correlate, deduplicate, and reduce noise. It's often described as an open-source alternative to the alert management capabilities of PagerDuty and BigPanda.

Key Features

Universal Alert Aggregation — Keep connects to 50+ monitoring, observability, and incident management tools via a unified integration layer. All alerts land in one place regardless of source.

AI Correlation Engine — Keep's AI groups related alerts into meaningful incidents, suppresses known noise, and applies rules to auto-resolve non-actionable alerts. Teams report significant reduction in alert fatigue.

Alert Workflow Automation — Define workflows that automatically route, escalate, or suppress alerts based on conditions. Run runbooks, send Slack messages, or create JIRA tickets automatically.

Open Source Core — All core features are available in the self-hosted version. No feature paywalls on the essential functionality.

Recent Developments

In May 2025, Keep announced a significant partnership with Elastic, integrating deeply with Elastic Observability. Keep was backed by Y Combinator and has 5,000+ GitHub stars with active development.

Pricing

• Self-hosted: Free, unlimited
• Keep Cloud: SaaS plans available
• Enterprise: custom plans with SLA

Bottom Line

Keep is the best open-source option for teams drowning in alert noise who can't justify or don't want to pay enterprise AIOps pricing. If you're self-hosting Prometheus and Grafana, Keep slots in naturally as the alert intelligence layer.
