Bosun vs Rollbar: What are the differences?
Developers describe Bosun as "Open-source monitoring and alerting system by Stack Exchange". Bosun is an open-source, MIT licensed, monitoring and alerting system by Stack Exchange. It has an expressive domain specific language for evaluating alerts and creating detailed notifications. It also lets you test your alerts against history for a faster development experience. On the other hand, Rollbar is detailed as "Full-stack error monitoring for developers". Rollbar helps development teams find and fix errors faster. Quickly pinpoint what’s broken and why. View exceptions from all of your languages, frameworks, platforms & environments in one place. Get context & insights to defeat all errors.
Bosun and Rollbar are primarily classified as "Monitoring" and "Exception Monitoring" tools respectively.
Some of the features offered by Bosun are:
- Save time by testing alerting against historical data and reduce alert noise before an alert goes into production
- Supports querying OpenTSDB, Graphite, and Logstash-Elasticsearch
- Create notifications using Bosun's template language: include graphs, tables, and contextual information
On the other hand, Rollbar provides the following key features:
- Errors get queued, de-duped, grouped and prioritized
- View detailed stack traces with local variables
- JavaScript source map support
Bosun is an open source tool with 2.85K GitHub stars and 477 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Bosun's open source repository on GitHub.
