Overview
Grafana OnCall is an open-source incident management and on-call scheduling tool that integrates with Grafana alerts, PagerDuty-compatible webhooks, and Slack. It provides escalation policies, rotation schedules, and an alert grouping engine to reduce notification noise. Teams self-host it as a Docker Compose stack alongside their Grafana instance.
Where it falls short of Datadog
- Requires Grafana instance for alerts; not standalone
- Mobile app push notifications require Grafana Cloud relay
- Less mature than PagerDuty for complex multi-team routing
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
