beehive
by muesli
Beehive is a modular event and agent automation system that enables users to create custom automated workflows triggered by various events across multiple platforms.
A flexible event/agent & automation system with lots of bees 🐝
Primary Use Case
Beehive is primarily used for security automation, incident response, and log analysis by enabling users to connect different event sources and automate actions accordingly. Security operations teams and DevOps professionals can leverage this tool to streamline monitoring, alerting, and response tasks by creating custom agents that react to events from services like Twitter, email, RSS feeds, and more.
- Modular plugin system called Hives to extend functionality
- Supports event-driven automation with customizable agents (Bees)
- Integrates with multiple platforms including Twitter, Tumblr, Email, IRC, Jenkins, Hue, RSS
- Ability to create multiple independent agents within each Hive
- Flexible event filtering and action triggering
- Cross-platform support with pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows
- Docker and Ansible deployment options
- Open source with easy extensibility and configuration via web UI
Installation
- Clone the repository with: git clone --recursive https://github.com/muesli/beehive.git
- Navigate into the directory: cd beehive
- Build the project using make
- Alternatively, download pre-built binaries for your platform from the releases page
