Kapacitor is an open-source framework for processing, monitoring, and alerting on time series data, part of the InfluxData TICK stack. It uses a DSL called TICKscript to define stream and batch processing tasks that can compute metrics and trigger alerts to services like Slack, PagerDuty, and VictorOps.

Use cases

• alert on high cpu usage from telegraf metrics
• process and downsample time series streams
• send alerts to slack or pagerduty when thresholds are breached
• run anomaly detection on streaming metrics
• batch process historical time series data
• monitor infrastructure metrics in real time

When to choose

• you use InfluxDB/Telegraf and need stream processing and alerting on time series data
• you want a DSL-based pipeline for metric transformation and threshold alerts
• you need a self-hosted alerting engine with many alert handler integrations

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose stream processing platform like Kafka Streams or Flink
• your data is not time series
• you want a modern actively evolving ecosystem - the project is largely in maintenance mode
