Apache HertzBeat vs HyperDX: at a glance
What is Apache HertzBeat?
HertzBeat's 1.9.0 is on its second release candidate, and the feed still skips 1.8.0.
HertzBeat's tracked entries are mostly release candidates. v1.9.0-rc1 in July split hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules and carried monitoring template fixes and internationalization work. v1.9.0-rc2 in September is titled only by its one visible change, a fix that makes the Windows native collector start. The 1.8.0 release referenced in rc1's own notes never appears in the feed.
What is HyperDX?
HyperDX patches its collector for an MPTCP CVE days after adding OTel session replay.
HyperDX 2.43 plays session replays from OpenTelemetry browser SDKs and passes alert tags into webhook bodies, and its 2.43.1 collector disables Multipath TCP to mitigate CVE-2026-98432. The bundled ClickHouse is now pinned for a security fix. The week before, CLI 0.8 added dashboard and saved-search authoring and the API started handling PromQL tiles.
Apache HertzBeat vs HyperDX: editorial side-by-side
Apache HertzBeat
0.0ANALYTICS
HertzBeat's 1.9.0 is on its second release candidate, and the feed still skips 1.8.0.
◆ Current state
HertzBeat's tracked entries are mostly release candidates. v1.9.0-rc1 in July split hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules and carried monitoring template fixes and internationalization work. v1.9.0-rc2 in September is titled only by its one visible change, a fix that makes the Windows native collector start. The 1.8.0 release referenced in rc1's own notes never appears in the feed.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.9.0 cycle is moving slowly, about seven weeks between candidates, and the rc2 fix points at native collector builds as current work. The release record stays thin, so most of what changes has to be read from the repository.
◆ Prediction
A 1.9.0 final or a further candidate is the next likely entry; nothing in the feed suggests timing.
HyperDX
5.0ANALYTICS
HyperDX patches its collector for an MPTCP CVE days after adding OTel session replay.
◆ Current state
HyperDX 2.43 plays session replays from OpenTelemetry browser SDKs and passes alert tags into webhook bodies, and its 2.43.1 collector disables Multipath TCP to mitigate CVE-2026-98432. The bundled ClickHouse is now pinned for a security fix. The week before, CLI 0.8 added dashboard and saved-search authoring and the API started handling PromQL tiles.
◆ Where it's heading
HyperDX is making dashboards and alerts manageable from outside the UI, through the CLI, the API and MCP, while leaning on OpenTelemetry standards instead of its own SDKs. Recent patch releases also show more attention to the security of self-hosted images.
◆ Prediction
Expect session replay to cover more OpenTelemetry browser events and alert tags to reach more webhook templates. The pace of weekly minor releases should continue.
