Self-hosted incident response for SRE and DevOps teams

Wake the right engineer. Keep incident data in your infrastructure.

IncidentRelay turns monitoring events into owned incidents with routing, on-call schedules, escalation policies and explainable orchestration — without handing the operational loop to a hosted platform.

Why IncidentRelay

Everything needed for on-call scheduling, alert escalation and incident response.

01

Smart alert routing

Route incoming alerts by source, labels, severity and team ownership. Keep alert rules clear, predictable and useful for incident management.

02

On-call schedules and rotations

Build team schedules, on-call shifts, overrides and escalation chains so alerts always reach the current responsible engineer and keep 24/7 coverage visible.

03

Actionable notifications

Send rich messages with acknowledge, resolve and escalation actions to Mattermost, Telegram, email, voice providers and other notification channels.

04

Silences and alert fatigue control

Silence known maintenance alerts, reduce duplicate notifications and keep incident history visible without losing important context.

05

Multi-team access model

Separate teams and groups, limit visibility and keep users focused on the alerts they are responsible for.

06

OpenAPI and automation

Integrate incident response automation and internal tools using documented API endpoints predictable JSON payloads and the Terraform provider for infrastructure-as-code workflows.

Workflow

From alert to on-call ownership in seconds.

1

Receive

Accept alerts from AWS CloudWatch, Grafana, Alertmanager, Zabbix, RMON or generic webhooks.

2

Match

Apply route matchers, severity filters, escalation policies and team rules.

3

Notify

Send clean messages to the current on-call person or channel.

4

Act

Acknowledge, resolve, silence or escalate alerts without losing incident context.

Migration tools

Move from Grafana OnCall or PagerDuty with a dry-run first.

The migration tools use public APIs, never connect to product databases and run in dry-run mode by default. Review the generated report before applying changes.

Integrations

Connect the tools you already use.

IncidentRelay is designed for infrastructure teams that already have monitoring, chat and internal workflows. It works as a self-hosted routing layer between alert sources, on-call schedules, escalation policies and responders.

Use cases

Built for teams searching for self-hosted incident management.

IncidentRelay fits teams that need on-call management software, shift scheduling, alert routing, escalation policies and incident response automation without handing core operations workflows to a closed SaaS platform.

On-call management Schedules, shifts, rotations, overrides and responder ownership.
Alert routing Route AWS, Grafana, Alertmanager, Zabbix, RMON and webhook alerts by labels, source and severity.
Escalation policies Notify the right people, remind responders and escalate unacknowledged alerts.
Incident response Acknowledge, resolve, silence and track incidents from one workflow.
PagerDuty alternative For teams looking for an open-source, self-hosted on-call workflow.
Grafana OnCall alternative For teams that want alert routing, schedules and escalation in their own stack.
