Grafana OnCall engine fork — self-hosted on-call scheduler and alert router
Before this change, a diff ical check (which happens with frequency with imported ical), particularly with overrides in an API/terraform schedule would trigger unexpected slack notifications because the prev vs current ical comparison will flag a diff, but when comparing current and previous shifts, `current_shifts` will have the shift in progress while the `prev_shifts` calculated from the overrides-only diff will most of the time be empty (unless you set/change an override at current time). Simplified the checks to always compare previous current shifts (ie. the ones in the schedule from the DB) vs the recalculated ones using the (refreshed) ical data from the schedule. |

Getting Started
We prepared multiple environments:
- production
- developer
- hobby (described in the following steps)
-
Download
docker-compose.yml:curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/oncall/dev/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml -
Set variables:
echo "DOMAIN=http://localhost:8080 COMPOSE_PROFILES=with_grafana # Remove this line if you want to use existing grafana SECRET_KEY=my_random_secret_must_be_more_than_32_characters_long" > .env -
Launch services:
docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d -
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 -
Enjoy! Check our OSS docs if you want to set up Slack, Telegram, Twilio or SMS/calls through Grafana Cloud.
