What is Cabot?
Cabot provides a robust solution for monitoring infrastructure by watching over Graphite metrics, Jenkins jobs, and web endpoints to identify and report issues in real time. The platform is self-hosted, empowering organizations to deploy their own watchdog system and aggregate related triggers into logical services or instance dashboards.
When problems are detected, Cabot sends alerts to support staff through various channels, including phone, SMS, Hipchat, or email. Its user-friendly deployment process allows for setup in as little as five minutes, making it suitable for teams seeking reliable and customizable monitoring with immediate notifications.
