openalerts 0.1.3

Real-time monitoring & alerting SDK for AI agent frameworks

OpenAlerts

Real-time monitoring & alerting SDK for AI agent frameworks. Supports OpenManus and nanobot.

Every LLM call, tool execution, agent step, and error is tracked automatically. When things go wrong, you get an alert. A real-time dashboard is included.

Install

pip install openalerts

Usage

OpenManus

import asyncio
import openalerts
from app.agent.manus import Manus

async def main():
    # Dashboard starts at http://localhost:9464/openalerts
    await openalerts.init({"framework": "openmanus"})

    # Use your agents as normal — they're automatically monitored
    agent = Manus()
    await agent.run("Research quantum computing")

asyncio.run(main())

nanobot

import asyncio
import openalerts
from nanobot.agent.loop import AgentLoop
from nanobot.bus.queue import MessageBus
from nanobot.providers.litellm_provider import LiteLLMProvider

async def main():
    await openalerts.init({"framework": "nanobot"})

    provider = LiteLLMProvider(api_key="sk-...", default_model="gpt-4o-mini")
    agent = AgentLoop(
        bus=MessageBus(),
        provider=provider,
        workspace="./workspace",
    )
    response = await agent.process_direct("Research quantum computing")
    print(response)

asyncio.run(main())

The nanobot adapter also tracks subagent lifecycle — subagent.spawn, subagent.end, and subagent.error events are captured automatically when SubagentManager is used, with parent/child session correlation.

That's it. A real-time dashboard starts at http://localhost:9464/openalerts. OpenAlerts auto-instruments the configured framework so every event flows through the monitoring engine. Cleanup happens automatically on exit. All events are persisted to ~/.openalerts/ as JSONL.

Optionally, add channels (Slack, Discord, webhooks) to get alerts delivered when things go wrong.

Standalone Dashboard

By default, the dashboard runs in-process - when your agent exits, the dashboard dies too. For a persistent dashboard that survives agent restarts:

# Terminal 1 — start persistent dashboard (stays running)
openalerts serve

# Terminal 2 — run your agent (writes events, no dashboard of its own)
python my_agent.py

Disable the in-process dashboard when using standalone mode:

await openalerts.init({
    "dashboard": False,
    "channels": [...]
})

openalerts serve [--port 9464] [--state-dir ~/.openalerts] [--log-level INFO]

Also works via python -m openalerts serve.

Channels

# Slack
{"type": "slack", "webhook_url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/..."}

# Discord
{"type": "discord", "webhook_url": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."}

# Generic webhook
{"type": "webhook", "webhook_url": "https://your-server.com/alerts", "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer ..."}}

Or via environment variables (no code changes needed):

OPENALERTS_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="https://hooks.slack.com/services/..."
OPENALERTS_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL="https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."
OPENALERTS_WEBHOOK_URL="https://your-server.com/alerts"

Configuration

await openalerts.init({
    "channels": [...],
    "rules": {
        "llm-errors": {"threshold": 3},
        "high-error-rate": {"enabled": False},
        "tool-errors": {"cooldown_seconds": 1800},
    },
    "cooldown_seconds": 900,
    "max_alerts_per_hour": 5,
    "quiet": False,
    "dashboard": True,
    "dashboard_port": 9464,
    "state_dir": "~/.openalerts",
    "log_level": "INFO",
})

Alert Rules

Rule	Fires When	Severity
llm-errors	LLM API failures in 1-min window	ERROR
tool-errors	Tool execution failures in 1-min window	WARN
agent-stuck	Agent enters stuck state	WARN
token-limit	Token limit exceeded	ERROR
step-limit-warning	Agent reaches 80% of max_steps	WARN
high-error-rate	>50% of last 20 tool calls failed	ERROR
subagent-errors	Subagent failures in 1-min window	WARN

API

engine = await openalerts.init({...})   # async init
engine = openalerts.init_sync({...})    # sync init
await openalerts.send_test_alert()      # verify channels
engine = openalerts.get_engine()        # get engine instance
await openalerts.shutdown()             # optional — runs automatically on exit
