Grafana OnCall

Developer-friendly incident response with brilliant Slack integration.

Android & iOS:

• Collect and analyze alerts from multiple monitoring systems
• On-call rotations based on schedules
• Automatic escalations
• Phone calls, SMS, Slack, Telegram notifications

Getting Started

We prepared multiple environments:

• production
• developer
• hobby (described in the following steps)

1. Download docker-compose.yml:

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/oncall/dev/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
   

2. Set variables:

   echo "DOMAIN=http://localhost:8080
   # Remove 'with_grafana' below if you want to use existing grafana
   # Add 'with_prometheus' below to optionally enable a local prometheus for oncall metrics
   # e.g. COMPOSE_PROFILES=with_grafana,with_prometheus
   COMPOSE_PROFILES=with_grafana
   # to setup an auth token for prometheus exporter metrics:
   # PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_SECRET=my_random_prometheus_secret
   # also, make sure to enable the /metrics endpoint:
   # FEATURE_PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_ENABLED=True
   SECRET_KEY=my_random_secret_must_be_more_than_32_characters_long" > .env
   

3. (Optional) If you want to enable/setup the prometheus metrics exporter (besides the changes above), create a prometheus.yml file (replacing my_random_prometheus_secret accordingly), next to your docker-compose.yml:

   echo "global:
     scrape_interval:     15s
     evaluation_interval: 15s
   
   scrape_configs:
     - job_name: prometheus
       metrics_path: /metrics/
       authorization:
         - credentials: my_random_prometheus_secret
       static_configs:
         - targets: [\"host.docker.internal:8080\"]" > prometheus.yml
   

   NOTE: you will need to setup a Prometheus datasource using http://prometheus:9090 as the URL in the Grafana UI.

4. Launch services:

   docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d
   

5. Go to OnCall Plugin Configuration, using log in credentials as defined above: admin/admin (or find OnCall plugin in configuration->plugins) and connect OnCall plugin with OnCall backend:

   OnCall backend URL: http://engine:8080
   

6. Enjoy! Check our OSS docs if you want to set up Slack, Telegram, Twilio or SMS/calls through Grafana Cloud.

Update version

To update your Grafana OnCall hobby environment:

# Update Docker image
docker-compose pull engine

# Re-deploy
docker-compose up -d

After updating the engine, you'll also need to click the "Update" button on the plugin version page. See Grafana docs for more info on updating Grafana plugins.
