We haven't found similar systems in the open source area that are focus on
the "federated" concept (we haven't considered comercial solutions yet),
meaning that include data from several sources is a primary feature.
At least, on the systems we are working, alerting systems are close to
their data storage, meaning that you would need to consolidate and move
your data into one to detect.

That is the gap we want to work on, being able to define conditions that
can trigger events/alerts on different sources without attachment of any
specific scheme/model/storage for your data.

Yes, basically Hawkular Alerting can be used through a REST query or a UI,
which defines a 8080 port by default (configurable) and an administrative
port.

Indeed, the API is public, so anyone can send data for evaluation, also the
architecture of alerters/actions is plugable.

A small intro is published here

The model is multitenant, having a strong separation of models.

We are collecting requeriments about security use cases to decide if a
simple security design is enough or if it is necessary to include a third
party component (i.e. keycloak).

Some requeriment in mind ?

Thanks for your questions !
