## What it is
Botkube is a ChatOps messaging bot for monitoring and troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters, integrating with Slack, Discord, and Mattermost. It delivers real-time event alerts, lets users run kubectl and helm commands from chat, and supports custom plugins and AI-assisted troubleshooting.

## Use cases
- monitor kubernetes cluster events in slack
- run kubectl commands from chat without cli access
- debug deployments via discord
- get alerts when pods crash or deployments fail
- let developers troubleshoot kubernetes without cluster permissions
- consolidate kubernetes and prometheus alerts into chat
- automate kubernetes remediation actions from chat

## When to choose
- your team uses Slack, Discord, or Mattermost and wants cluster visibility in chat
- developers need to inspect or debug clusters without direct kubectl access
- you want filtered, actionable Kubernetes event notifications with RBAC controls

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone dashboard or CLI-only monitoring tool
- your team does not use any supported chat platform
- you need deep metrics visualization rather than event alerts and ChatOps

## Facets
- artifact type: application
