    Setting up the Grafana OnCall configuration is from the UI is a little bit complex, you need to create an integration, from there an escalation chain ann after that you need to change the template for the notificaion. Also the documentation is not entirely clear, particularly the section on provisioning with Terraform, because production stack is provisioned with infra structure as code.

    It is best suited for Server Environments and Enterprises which have their IT infrastructure spread over a wide and different geographical location because since it is cloud based, monotoring can be be done from a single interface, it even comes with a mobile app so you dont allways have to be in fron of your laptop or Dasboard Screen to be able to do helth check or to have visibilty on occurences in the environment.

    • It seems it was mainly designed for server environments, if applied to serverless environments the pricis will not be justified.
    • It picks up on alerts and event logs but does not pick up on critical services especially pn Microsoft servers which may have stopped.
    • Installation and configuration was a challenge and we finally got close to the desired results through trial and error.

    Usability
    Grafana Labs
    setting up the Grafana OnCall functionality is complex but if you setup this and you know how to setup then the rest is easy. IAC is provided with terraform The UI for the alert groups shows the alerts in one view and from there you can go to the relevant alert trigger to solve the problems.

    The user interface is extremelely user friendly despite the challenges we experienced during the setup stages, The real time monitoring is also worth complimenting, its like having a birds-eye view of your whole infrustructure and trust me our infrastructure is massive, spreading accross 3 continents. Aided with the mobile app, you can monitor your environment from almost anywhere at anytime. It allows for some degree of customisation so you can tune it to meet your specific needs.

    Alternatives Considered
    Grafana Labs
    Unlike Grafana OnCall tool Splunk On-Call solution looks more complicated and noticeably inferior in the visualization of the information presented (UI is not user friendly). Alerts re-route process looks totally illogical and you need some time to get with it. However Splunk On-Call looks more featurable out-of-box and has iOS and Android apps while Grafana OnCall provides a general dashboard apps only.

    • Its ability to intergrate with ticket logging systems certainly cuts the need for human resources to manually do health checks and lod tickets with service desk against the alerts raised.
    • Once set up, the dashboards are easy to understand even for non technical staff so there isnt need for too much to be invested in training.
    • It allows for customisation to suit our organisations specific business objectives.
