Kubewatch is a Kubernetes watcher that monitors cluster resource changes and publishes notifications to collaboration channels like Slack, Hipchat, Mattermost, Flock, generic webhooks, and SMTP. It is deployed in-cluster (e.g., via Helm) and is written in Go.
Use cases
- get slack notifications when pods change in my kubernetes cluster
- alert my team when deployments or services are modified in k8s
- watch kubernetes resource events and send them to a webhook
- notify on configmap and secret changes in the cluster
- run a lightweight k8s event notifier via helm
When to choose
- you need simple push notifications from Kubernetes events to Slack or webhooks
- you want a lightweight, Helm-installable cluster watcher
- you are okay using the community fork (robusta-dev/kubewatch) for ongoing maintenance
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the VMware original is archived and unmaintained
- you need advanced alerting, filtering, or metrics - use tools like Prometheus Alertmanager or Robusta instead
- you need notification channels beyond the supported Slack/Hipchat/Mattermost/Flock/webhook/SMTP set
