Grafana OnCall OSS in maintenance mode: your questions answered

Grafana Labs has announced that Grafana OnCall (OSS) is entering maintenance mode and will be archived by March 24, 2026, while remaining fully open source under the AGPLv3 license. This decision stems from the need to streamline development by merging overlapping functionalities of OnCall (Cloud) and the Incident apps into a new unified Grafana Cloud IRM app, thus avoiding the technical debt of maintaining separate codebases. During the maintenance period, critical bug and security fixes will be provided, but users are encouraged to plan for alternative solutions, as API and Cloud Connection services will cease after the archive date. Grafana Labs remains committed to open source, encouraging the community to fork and continue developing OnCall (OSS) independently. The shift aims to offer a more seamless incident management experience with the new Grafana Cloud IRM app, which integrates existing features with enhanced UI/UX and deeper integrations.
