## What it is
Apache HertzBeat is an AI-powered, agentless open-source real-time observability system that unifies metrics collection, log aggregation, alerting, and notifications in one platform. It supports monitoring of web services, databases, caches, OS, middleware, cloud-native, and networks via configurable protocols like HTTP, JMX, SSH, SNMP, and JDBC, with status page building and multi-collector clustering.

## Use cases
- monitor servers and databases without installing agents
- set up uptime monitoring with a public status page
- collect custom metrics via YAML templates
- unify alerts from Prometheus and other sources into one alerting platform
- send alert notifications to Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, or webhooks
- monitor logs collected over OTLP
- scale monitoring across isolated networks and cloud-edge environments

## When to choose
- you want an all-in-one self-hosted alternative to Zabbix or Prometheus+Grafana
- you need agentless monitoring with point-and-click web configuration
- you want built-in alerting, notification routing, and status pages in a single tool
- you need Prometheus-compatible metrics plus unified log collection

## When to avoid
- you need deep application performance profiling or distributed tracing
- you are fully invested in a mature Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager stack
- you require a lightweight single-purpose uptime checker only

## Facets
- artifact type: application
