Extend Keep’s service topology to behave more like a standard network monitor

[FelipeAFV]

Hi, my name is Felipe and I'm part of the Whitestack team.

We’re interested in extending and contributing to the functionality of Keep’s service topology so that it behaves more like a standard network monitoring system.

What we mean by that is having the service topology display not only the number of incidents, but also related metrics and the current service status (for example, a green indicator if it’s up, red if it’s down), along with other useful information — similar to traditional network monitoring tools.

We are not planning to change Keep’s current behavior, only to extend it to allow showing more detailed information for each service if the provider supports it. We’re currently working on a provider that requires richer data in the service topology, which led us to the idea of extending the existing functionality to support this behavior.

We’d like to know if this idea aligns with your vision for Keep, and whether you would be open to accepting future contributions in this direction.

Best regards,
Felipe

Hey @FelipeAFV, this is great initiative! I guess that every contribution is welcome :) What do you need for us?

Vision-wise, yea, why not? Keep is currently on "community mode" since the acquisition meaning we mostly help community to push their changes.
