snareok

Snareok is a modular, open-source platform for real-time event processing, anomaly detection, and automated alerting. It is designed to ingest data from applications, infrastructure, and external services, then route it through user-defined rules to trigger actions such as notifications, remediations, or workflow executions. The project emphasizes extensibility through a plugin-based architecture and a declarative rules language, enabling users to build customized pipelines without writing substantial code.

Snareok originated as a community project aimed at simplifying cross-system alerting. The first public release appeared in 2020, and subsequent versions expanded the feature set to include data normalization, multi-tenant deployments, and a web-based UI for configuring pipelines. By 2022, governance was formalized to manage contributions and licensing.

Its core comprises a lightweight engine that orchestrates data flows, a plugin interface for connectors, and a rule engine that supports conditions, thresholds, and time-based windows. Core features include data ingestion from various adapters, a scalable message bus, event enrichment, an audit log, and role-based access control. Built-in dashboards offer visibility into event volumes, latency, and workflow outcomes. Snareok supports scheduling, retry policies, and integrations with common collaboration and incident-response tools.

Snareok has seen adoption among small and medium-sized teams seeking an open-source alternative to proprietary alerting suites. Reviews highlight its flexibility and strong documentation; some users note a learning curve for complex rules and a modest ecosystem of plugins compared with larger projects.
