The OSS version of Grafana OnCall provides the same reliable on-call management solution along with the flexibility of a self-managed environment. This guide describes the necessary installation and configuration steps needed to configure OSS Grafana OnCall. The intended audience for this guide includes: - Grafana open source admins who are responsible for deploying and configuring Grafana OnCall. - Grafana open source users who need to configure SMS and phone notifications using Grafana Cloud. ## Install Grafana OnCall OSS There are three Grafana OnCall OSS environments available: - **Hobby** playground environment for local usage: [README.md](https://github.com/grafana/oncall#getting-started) - **Development** environment for contributors: [DEVELOPER.md](https://github.com/grafana/oncall/blob/dev/DEVELOPER.md) - **Production** environment for reliable Cloud installation: [Production Environment](#production-environment) For detailed installation instructions and additional resources, refer to the OSS Grafana OnCall [README.md](https://github.com/grafana/oncall#getting-started) For more information on production environment installation, refer to the following OSS Grafana OnCall [production environment helm chart](https://github.com/grafana/oncall/helm) ## Configure Slack for Grafana OnCall OSS The Slack integration for Grafana OnCall leverages Slack API features to provide a customizable and useful integration. Refer to the following steps to configure the Slack integration: 1. Ensure your Grafana OnCall environment is up and running. 1. Grafana OnCall must be accessible through HTTPS. For development purposes, use [localtunnel](https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel). For production purposes, consider establishing a proper web server with HTTPS termination. For localtunnel, refer to the following configuration: ```bash # Choose the unique prefix instead of pretty-turkey-83 # Localtunnel will generate an url, e.g. https://pretty-turkey-83.loca.lt # it is referred as below lt --port 8080 -s pretty-turkey-83 --print-requests ``` 1. If using localtunnel, open your external URL and click **Continue** to allow requests to bypass the warning page. 1. [Create a Slack Workspace](https://slack.com/create) for development, or use your company workspace. 1. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and click **Create an App** . 1. Select `From an app manifest` option and select your workspace. 1. Replace the text with the following YAML code block . Be sure to replace `` and `` fields with the appropriate information. ```yaml _metadata: major_version: 1 minor_version: 1 display_information: name: features: app_home: home_tab_enabled: true messages_tab_enabled: true messages_tab_read_only_enabled: false bot_user: display_name: always_online: true shortcuts: - name: Create a new incident type: message callback_id: incident_create description: Creates a new OnCall incident - name: Add to postmortem type: message callback_id: add_postmortem description: Add this message to postmortem slash_commands: - command: /oncall url: /slack/interactive_api_endpoint/ description: oncall should_escape: false oauth_config: redirect_urls: - /api/internal/v1/complete/slack-install-free/ - /api/internal/v1/complete/slack-login/ scopes: user: - channels:read - chat:write - identify - users.profile:read bot: - app_mentions:read - channels:history - channels:read - chat:write - chat:write.customize - chat:write.public - commands - files:write - groups:history - groups:read - im:history - im:read - im:write - mpim:history - mpim:read - mpim:write - reactions:write - team:read - usergroups:read - usergroups:write - users.profile:read - users:read - users:read.email - users:write settings: event_subscriptions: request_url: /slack/event_api_endpoint/ bot_events: - app_home_opened - app_mention - channel_archive - channel_created - channel_deleted - channel_rename - channel_unarchive - member_joined_channel - message.channels - message.im - subteam_created - subteam_members_changed - subteam_updated - user_change interactivity: is_enabled: true request_url: /slack/interactive_api_endpoint/ org_deploy_enabled: false socket_mode_enabled: false ``` 1. Set environment variables by navigating to your Grafana OnCall, then click **Env Variables** and set the following: ``` SLACK_CLIENT_OAUTH_ID = Basic Information -> App Credentials -> Client ID SLACK_CLIENT_OAUTH_SECRET = Basic Information -> App Credentials -> Client Secret SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET = Basic Information -> App Credentials -> Signing Secret SLACK_INSTALL_RETURN_REDIRECT_HOST = << OnCall external URL >> ``` 1.

Request [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) for a key, then add your key in `TELEGRAM_TOKEN` in your Grafana OnCall **Env Variables**. 1. Set `TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_HOST` with your external URL for your Grafana OnCall. 1. From the **ChatOps** tab in Grafana OnCall, click **Telegram**. ## Connect Grafana Cloud to Grafana OnCall OSS Open source Grafana OnCall can be connected to Grafana Cloud to configure a variety of notifications. The benefits of connecting to Grafana Cloud include: - Heartbeat notification - SMS for user notifications - Phone calls for user notifications. To connect to Grafana Cloud, refer to the **Cloud** page in your OSS Grafana OnCall instance. >**NOTE:** As an alternative option to Grafana Cloud, phone call and SMS notifications can be configured using Twilio. ## Connect Twilio for Grafana OnCall OSS Grafana OnCall supports Twilio SMS and phone call notifications delivery.
