Bosun is an open-source time series alerting and monitoring framework developed by Stack Exchange, featuring a DSL for evaluating alerts and a template language for notifications. It queries OpenTSDB, Graphite, and Logstash-Elasticsearch, and pairs with the scollector metric collection agent.
Use cases
- alert on time series metrics from opentsdb
- monitor server and application metrics
- test alerting rules against historical data
- collect metrics from windows and linux hosts
- create templated alert notifications with graphs
When to choose
- you use OpenTSDB or Graphite and need expressive alert rules
- you want to backtest alerts against historical data before production
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is no longer maintained as of 2025
- you need a modern monitoring stack with broad datasource support
