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.
