Gyeeta

What Gyeeta is

Gyeeta is a free, open-source observability tool for Linux hosts, services, and processes. It uses eBPF and kernel statistics without application instrumentation. For TCP services, it reports query rates, latency, network throughput, active connections, and process resource use. It can find TCP services, clients, and dependencies automatically, with no application code changes or configuration inputs. Its algorithms detect service degradation or contention and can suggest a probable cause. Users can query through a Web UI or REST APIs, including across multiple hosts, with JSON responses. Alerts currently support email, Slack, PagerDuty, and webhooks. Gyeeta is self-hosted, and its documentation says data stays in-house rather than being transferred externally. Installation options include shell scripts, Kubernetes Helm charts, Docker containers, native rpm or deb packages, and tar packages. The architecture documentation describes monitoring tens of thousands of hosts with a central server and intermediate servers. It supports x86_64 Linux hosts with kernel 4.4 or higher; it does not support serverless environments such as AWS Lambda and Fargate.

Who it suits

Gyeeta suits teams operating supported Linux hosts that want service and process observability without application instrumentation. It is not a fit for serverless environments or monitoring the listed unsupported protocols and metrics.

Limits

The free plan is free to use forever. Gyeeta does not support serverless environments, application logs, UDP or Unix-domain-socket service statistics, or direct integration metrics from platforms such as AWS, Prometheus, Java, StatsD, and Kubernetes.

Getting started

1. Visit the Gyeeta website.
2. Choose a deployment route: shell script, Kubernetes Helm chart, Docker container, rpm or deb package, or tar package.
3. Install Gyeeta on supported x86_64 Linux hosts running kernel 4.4 or later.
4. Use the Web UI or REST API to query monitoring data.
5. Configure alert notifications through email, Slack, PagerDuty, or webhooks.

Verdict

Gyeeta provides self-hosted Linux observability with service discovery, multi-host queries, and several alert channels. Its protocol, host, and authentication limits matter when deciding whether it fits an environment.
