Show HN: rtcollector - A modular, RedisTimeSeries-native observability agent

Hacker News - Thu, 05/22/2025 - 3:53pm

I’m a long-time time series nerd, I’ve worked with InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, ClickHouse, and more, across everything from monitoring fleets to tracking medical devices. But recently, I started exploring RedisTimeSeries again… and I was surprised by how much the Redis Stack has evolved.

Between RedisTimeSeries, RedisJSON, RediSearch, and Streams, I realized: this could actually be the backbone for a full observability stack.

So I built rtcollector, a modular, Redis-native observability agent. It’s written in Python, configured with YAML, and designed to push system, container, and database metrics into RedisTimeSeries with labels and retention. Think of it as a Telegraf alternative, but for Redis.

Right now, I’ve implemented input plugins for: • Linux: CPU, memory, disk, I/O, network • macOS: CPU, memory, disk, I/O, network • Docker: container stats via API • Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL

The idea is to keep it simple, extensible, and Redis-first.

Next steps: • Native logs via RedisJSON + RediSearch (already prototyped!) • Support for Redis Streams (for traces/events) • Dashboards in Grafana using the Redis data source

If you’re into observability, Redis, or just like building small purposeful tools, I’d love your thoughts or contributions. It’s early, but already useful for homelabs, edge boxes, and anyone tired of deploying 10 containers just to get CPU metrics.

More than 1,500 AI projects are now vulnerable to a silent exploit

Hacker News - Thu, 05/22/2025 - 3:39pm

According to the latest research by ARIMLABS[.]AI, a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2025-47241) has been discovered in the widely used Browser Use framework — a dependency leveraged by more than 1,500 AI projects.

The issue enables zero-click agent hijacking, meaning an attacker can take control of an LLM-powered browsing agent simply by getting it to visit a malicious page — no user interaction required.

This raises serious concerns about the current state of security in autonomous AI agents, especially those that interact with the web.

Show HN: LeapHubAI – drop-in AI tools for every SaaS

Hacker News - Thu, 05/22/2025 - 3:35pm

I'm building leaphub.ai, a set of tools that can be included in any web platform to improve it with common AI-powered features, such as text assistants, API-connected chatbots, etc.

The idea is that these are copy&paste integrations. Also, *looking for Design Partners at this point*!

Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever

Wired Security - Thu, 05/22/2025 - 3:28pm
On today’s episode of ‘Uncanny Valley,’ we discuss how WIRED was able to legally 3D-print the same gun allegedly used by Luigi Mangione, and where US law stands on the technology.
