Autonomous root cause analysis with natural language chat. Your AI SRE that never sleeps.
Real-Time Monitoring
System metrics, Docker containers, and process tracking — all in real time with intelligent baselines.
Smart Alerting
Multi-channel alerts with suppression windows and escalation policies. Never miss what matters.
Security Scanning
CVE detection, vulnerability assessment, and audit logging built into your monitoring pipeline.
Self-Hosted & Private
Deploy on your own infrastructure. Your data never leaves your servers. Full control, zero vendor lock-in.
Extensible SDK
Python and Node.js SDKs, webhooks, and Slack integration. Fits your workflow.
Up and running in minutes
Deploy with Docker
Run a single Docker command to spin up Argus on your own infrastructure. Configure your LLM provider and you're ready to go.
Install the SDK
Drop the lightweight Argus SDK into your applications and servers. Two lines of code to get started.
AI Monitors & Investigates
Argus watches 24/7, detects anomalies, and automatically investigates incidents with AI-driven root cause analysis.
Your AI SRE that never sleeps
When Argus detects an anomaly, it doesn't just alert you — it investigates. AI analyzes correlated metrics, identifies root causes, and suggests fixes in natural language.
- Autonomous root cause analysis
- Natural language chat interface
- Correlates metrics, logs, and events
- Suggests actionable remediation steps
Anomaly detected: CPU usage spike to 94% on web-server-03
Investigating... Correlating with memory and network metrics. Found: memory leak in Node.js process (PID 2847) — RSS grew 340% in 2h.
Root cause: Unbounded cache in /api/sessions handler. Recommend restarting the process and deploying the fix from PR #142.
Restart the process and alert the on-call team.
Real-time channel notifications
Digest and critical alerts
Custom HTTP integrations
Alerts that cut through the noise
Configure intelligent alert rules with suppression windows and escalation policies. Route alerts to Slack, email, or webhooks — only when they matter.
- Threshold, anomaly, and composite alert rules
- Suppression windows for planned maintenance
- Escalation policies with automatic routing
Security built into every layer
From vulnerability scanning to audit logging, Argus keeps your infrastructure secure while monitoring it.
CVE Detection
Automatic vulnerability scanning against known CVE databases.
Audit Logging
Complete audit trail of all actions, API calls, and configuration changes.
Encrypted at Rest
All data encrypted at rest and in transit. API keys are hashed with SHA-256.
RBAC
Role-based access control with owner, admin, and member roles.
Two lines of code to get started
Install the Argus SDK in your language of choice. Python and Node.js supported out of the box.
