OpenOcta

OpenOcta is an open-source IT operations agent for Windows and macOS that runs system inspections, analyzes alerts and answers ops questions.

OpenOcta is an open-source IT operations agent that ops engineers install on a Windows or Mac computer and direct in natural language. It connects to monitoring, logs, cloud platforms, databases and script tools, such as Zabbix, Prometheus and Kubernetes, to work on applications, servers, networks, desktops, databases and cloud resources rather than only the machine it runs on. Its main loop covers scheduled inspections with summarized risk lists, alert aggregation and root-cause analysis that correlates metrics, logs and changes, and plain-language questions over monitoring, tickets, capacity and cost data, followed by remediation advice or execution. A skills marketplace adds community-built ops skills, and a knowledge vault stores runbooks and context. It ships as a single Go binary with a built-in control UI, with release 1.0.6 in July 2026.
