# Grafana OnCall OSS archival notice

As of March 11, 2025, Grafana OnCall OSS entered maintenance mode while Grafana focused development on the unified Grafana Cloud IRM experience.

**As of March 24, 2026, the Grafana OnCall OSS project is archived.** The [grafana/oncall](https://github.com/grafana/oncall) GitHub repository is read-only. This page summarizes what changed and your options.

## Timeline and impact

- **March 11, 2025**: Grafana OnCall OSS entered maintenance mode
  
  - The project moved toward read-only archival; no new features were developed
  - Critical bug fixes and security patches (CVEs with a CVSS score of 7.0 or higher) were still addressed until archival
- **March 24, 2026**: Grafana OnCall OSS was fully archived
  
  - The [grafana/oncall](https://github.com/grafana/oncall) repository is read-only
  - Cloud Connection support ended
  - Mobile app push notifications for OSS users through Cloud Connection are no longer supported
  - SMS and phone call notifications that relied on Cloud Connection are no longer supported

## Options if you use Grafana OnCall OSS

The archived software may still run in your environment, but the repository is read-only and there is no ongoing product development.

### Continue using Grafana OnCall OSS

If you keep running the OSS version:

- Existing deployments can continue to operate in your environment.
- Your on-call schedules, integrations, and workflows may remain operational.
- You must use alternative notification services for phone, SMS, and mobile push notifications that previously depended on Grafana Cloud.

> Caution
> 
> Certain OnCall OSS notifications relied on Grafana Cloud services. **Cloud Connection and those Cloud-dependent features ended on March 24, 2026.** For more detail, refer to the [Cloud Connection update](#cloud-connection-update) section.

### Migrate to Grafana Cloud IRM

For a fully managed alternative with mobile push notifications and built-in SMS and voice call support, use Grafana Cloud IRM. The Grafana Cloud Free Tier includes 3 users.

Grafana Cloud IRM combines Grafana OnCall and Grafana Incident capabilities into a unified incident response and management solution. Benefits include:

- Seamless integration with Grafana Alerting and other Grafana Cloud services
- Continued development of new features and improvements
- Simplified user experience with a unified interface
- No infrastructure to maintain

For migration instructions, see [Migrate from Grafana OnCall OSS to Grafana Cloud IRM](../migration-from-other-tools/).

## Cloud Connection update

Grafana OnCall OSS used Cloud Connection with Grafana Cloud for SMS, phone, and push notifications. **That integration ended on March 24, 2026.** Use alternative notification solutions if you still run OSS.

### Affected features

- **Mobile app push notifications**: OSS users no longer receive push notifications through the Grafana IRM mobile app via Cloud Connection.
- **SMS and phone call notifications**: SMS or voice notifications that relied on **Cloud Connection** no longer function through that path.

### Alternative notification options for OSS users

Consider these alternatives:

- **Push notifications**: Use a third-party notification service such as [Pushover](https://pushover.net/), [Gotify](https://gotify.net/), or [ntfy](https://ntfy.sh/). Refer to [Configure push notifications](/docs/oncall/latest/manage/notify/push-notifications/) for step-by-step instructions.
- **Phone calls and SMS**: Configure your own **Twilio account credentials** (or other supported providers) for phone and SMS notifications. Follow the instructions in [Configure phone and SMS notifications](/docs/oncall/latest/manage/notify/phone-calls-sms/).
