Horus documentation
Learn how to install, configure, and run Horus investigations on your production systems.
Horus is an open-source, local-first incident investigation engine. It connects runtime evidence — logs, metrics, queue state, database state — with source intelligence to produce deterministic, evidence-backed reports.
What you will find here
- Getting started: install Horus and run your first investigation.
- Installation options: curl, npm, and Homebrew.
- CLI reference: every command, option, and exit code.
- Connectors: how Horus reads from Elasticsearch, Grafana, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, BullMQ/Redis, Sentry, Axiom, Shopify Admin, and Git.
- Source intelligence: how Horus understands code context without sending source code anywhere.
- Memory: how Horus remembers confirmed outcomes and measures its own accuracy.
- Agent packet: a compact, honesty-framed briefing built for coding agents.
