Every moment counts when you’re managing incidents that can affect your services and customers. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new bi-directional integration between Grafana OnCall and ServiceNow, a popular platform many large organizations rely on to help manage their incidents.

When it comes to oncall scheduling, your enterprise must plan as much as possible. Fortunately, with the right processes and tools, you can effectively implement and manage an oncall schedule. You can also use this schedule to quickly identify and resolve incidents and prevent them from causing long-lasting damage to your organization and its stakeholders.

One important consideration when adopting a tool is whether it can integrate with your existing workflows and services. Each scenario can be highly specific, which is why it’s important to look for tools that have a public API or customizable webhooks. Last year, Grafana OnCall expanded its webhook support to allow for more complex setups, offering greater flexibility to interact with other services during alert group events.

How you manage your oncall management teams can have significant ramifications on your enterprise and its stakeholders. To understand why this is the case, let’s look at what it means to be “oncall,”. Along with tips and recommendations to help your enterprise staff achieve its desired results.

There’s no two ways about it: on-call is stressful. But with humans at the center, it’s especially important to find ways to make it as manageable and empathetic as possible. In this webinar with our friends at ELC, incident.io VP of Engineering, Noberto Lopes, and Intercom Staff Product Engineer, Andrej Blagojević, discuss their own experiences with on-call, and how the process can be better.

Sometimes, the little things can make a big difference. We’ve added a new feature in Grafana Incident & Response Management (IRM) that lets you sync your Google Calendar out-of-office events with Grafana OnCall.

The Grafana OnCall mobile app is an essential tool for on-call engineers to monitor and respond to critical system events. Available for both iOS and Android, the app offers a range of features and notification settings that make the on-call experience easier and more intuitive — all in the palm of your hand.
