On-call and incident response built into your Grafana Cloud stack

Go from firing alert to resolved incident with Grafana Cloud IRM. Automatically notify the right on-call responders; declare an incident from an alert; coordinate your response from Slack, Microsoft Teams, or your phone; and get a head start on identifying the cause with AI investigations.

On-call your team can sustain

Build rotations in the UI or as code, trade shifts with a teammate in a few taps, and catch coverage gaps before they turn into missed alerts

Every incident makes the next one easier

Post-incident review starts from recorded facts, not memory. Response-time trends show whether your team is getting faster and where to improve

Only pay for active users

Per-user pricing covers on-call and incident response. You’re only billed for people who are on call, get notified, or take action that month—not for stakeholders who only follow along

Trusted by everyone from startups to the Fortune 500

Why use Grafana Cloud for incident response and management?

On-call coverage without the burnout

  • Build schedules your way with rotations in the UI, schedules as code with Terraform and the API, or an import from any iCal calendar

  • Plan around real life with overrides for one-off changes, shift swap requests your teammates can pick up from Slack or the mobile app, and Google Calendar out-of-office events that automatically become swap requests

  • Keep a global team covered with time-zone-aware rotations and a view of every teammate’s local time

  • Spot burnout and coverage risks early with schedule-quality reports that flag gaps, empty shifts, and teammates carrying too much of the load

  • Keep everyone in sync as shifts change, with personal calendar feeds of your upcoming shifts and on-call Slack user groups that update

Cut through alert noise, reach the right people

  • Surface only what needs attention by grouping related alerts, auto-resolving alerts that recover, and routing by label or template to the team that owns the problem

  • Connect any alert source with a built-in Grafana Alerting connection and 20+ integrations, including Alertmanager, Datadog, ServiceNow, and webhooks

  • Escalate until someone responds with multi-step escalation chains that support wait steps, round-robin, time-of-day conditions, repeats, and automatic incident declaration

  • Reach responders where they are through the mobile app, Slack, Microsoft Teams, SMS, phone calls, and email, with separate personal rules for default and high-priority notifications

  • Act without switching tools by acknowledging, resolving, or silencing alerts from the mobile app, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or even your phone’s keypad

Give responders a head start with AI investigations

  • Start investigating the moment an alert fires by configuring AI investigations to launch when alerts fire or incidents are declared, or start one from the incident page with a click

  • Coordinate your response by automatically notifying on-call users, who can begin the response process while Grafana Assistant analyzes your telemetry

  • Give responders the context they need and share what the team already knows with an investigation summary and a link to the full report on the incident

  • Review the evidence and steer the investigation in Grafana Assistant, where you can dig into findings and ask follow-up questions before deciding how to respond

Learn from each incident with timelines and response metrics

  • Capture the full story as it happens with comprehensive timelines to track key actions, decisions, and updates throughout the incident lifecycle

  • Never miss a post-incident review by automatically converting timelines into a structured PIR. Make sure reviews get done by tracking the review status on every incident so you know which ones are still outstanding

  • Measure what’s improving with MTTA, MTTR, and MTTD trends and incident counts broken down by team, severity, and label

Run incident response from within your observability stack

  • Declare incidents where you spot them from any dashboard panel or in Explore mode, and attach the panels and queries behind the problem so everyone starts from the same evidence

  • Find likely causes faster with AI that explores metrics, logs, and traces to test hypotheses and follow the evidence

  • Keep consistent and organized context with the incident timeline, status updates, severity, labels, and custom fields your team defines

  • Fit IRM into your existing process and automate the busywork by integrating with your favorite ITSM tools to customize your incident response workflows, including Jira, ServiceNow, GitHub, and more

Incident response and management on the go

  • Never miss what matters by receiving important alerts that break through do-not-disturb and silent modes, with separate sounds and volume for default and important alerts

  • Act from the lock screen by acknowledging or silencing an alert straight from the notification

  • Fully handle alerts from your phone where you can resolve them, escalate to the next step, bring in more responders, or declare an incident

  • Stay in the loop on incidents with the full timeline; update severity, status, and roles as the response moves

  • Keep your schedule in your pocket with upcoming shifts, a reminder before you go on call, and swap requests you can send or accept from anywhere
