HyperDX vs Keboola: at a glance
What is HyperDX?
HyperDX 2.42 lets dashboards be authored from the CLI and adds an MCP service-health report.
The 2.42 release train adds dashboard and saved-search authoring to the hdx CLI (list, export, create, import, round-trip JSON), returns PromQL tiles through the external dashboards API, and gives the MCP server a one-call per-service health report. The app moves alert editing into a side panel next to the chart and adds a content font size setting; the collector can now send PromQL remote-write over HTTPS.
What is Keboola?
Keboola adds dark mode while it tightens the MCP server and retires idle workspaces.
Keboola's recent releases split between hygiene and AI-agent safety. The MCP server's query_data tool is now read-only, emailing API tokens is being retired, and idle Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces will be deactivated from 9 November. On the user side, data apps start faster on pre-built images, Kai gained shared team memory, and the UI now has dark mode.
HyperDX vs Keboola: editorial side-by-side
HyperDX
5.0ANALYTICS
HyperDX 2.42 lets dashboards be authored from the CLI and adds an MCP service-health report.
◆ Current state
The 2.42 release train adds dashboard and saved-search authoring to the hdx CLI (list, export, create, import, round-trip JSON), returns PromQL tiles through the external dashboards API, and gives the MCP server a one-call per-service health report. The app moves alert editing into a side panel next to the chart and adds a content font size setting; the collector can now send PromQL remote-write over HTTPS.
◆ Where it's heading
HyperDX is making its dashboards and alerts manageable outside the UI, through the CLI, the API and MCP tools, while PromQL becomes a full citizen next to ClickHouse logs and traces. Ad hoc dashboard filters and OTel event-name fields are being laid down for later use.
◆ Prediction
Expect MCP dashboard tools to gain PromQL tile editing and the new event-name and severity fields to start driving log views.
Keboola
5.0ANALYTICS
Keboola adds dark mode while it tightens the MCP server and retires idle workspaces.
◆ Current state
Keboola's recent releases split between hygiene and AI-agent safety. The MCP server's query_data tool is now read-only, emailing API tokens is being retired, and idle Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces will be deactivated from 9 November. On the user side, data apps start faster on pre-built images, Kai gained shared team memory, and the UI now has dark mode.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is limiting what agents and stale resources can do while making its AI assistant and apps quicker to use. The pattern is deliberate cleanup ahead of wider agent usage, not new surface area.
◆ Prediction
Expect more guardrails around the MCP server and Kai, such as tighter scopes or approvals, alongside further deprecation notices with fixed dates.
