Apache HertzBeat vs Omni: 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 Omni?
Omni adds embed MCP tokens and webhook delivery for AI routines.
Omni ships a weekly bundle on two fronts: warehouse and modeling depth, and AI and automation interfaces. The week of October 12 let dashboards built in Claude be sent into Omni, and the week of October 19 added invite-time roles and stricter Omni Agent query validation. The week of October 26 lists embed MCP tokens, global AI context, apps as the default presentation type and webhook delivery for AI routines.

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.
Omni
5.0ANALYTICS
Omni adds embed MCP tokens and webhook delivery for AI routines.
◆ Current state
Omni ships a weekly bundle on two fronts: warehouse and modeling depth, and AI and automation interfaces. The week of October 12 let dashboards built in Claude be sent into Omni, and the week of October 19 added invite-time roles and stricter Omni Agent query validation. The week of October 26 lists embed MCP tokens, global AI context, apps as the default presentation type and webhook delivery for AI routines.
◆ Where it's heading
Omni is widening where its agent and routines can run: inside embedded apps, through MCP and out to webhooks. Weekly bundles keep pairing AI features with admin controls.
◆ Prediction
Expect further MCP and routine delivery options in the coming weekly notes, likely extending embed customers' access to the agent.
