GoAlert

Purpose: GoAlert provides on-call scheduling, automated escalations, and notifications to engage the right person at the right time.
Schedules and escalation: Schedules, rotations, and escalation policies determine who receives an alert and escalate it when it is not acknowledged.
Alert sources: Alerts can come through the generic API, email, Grafana, Prometheus, Site24x7, Sensu, or manual entry in the UI.
Notifications: Notifications include SMS and voice through Twilio, email through Mailgun, and Slack.
Deployment: GoAlert is distributed as a single binary and as Docker images, and the project says users host it themselves.
Database requirement: A running PostgreSQL instance is the only hard requirement for GoAlert.
Sensitive data: The getting-started guide recommends configuring a data-encryption key to encrypt sensitive information such as API keys before database storage.
Authentication: GoAlert supports GitHub OAuth and OpenID Connect authentication, which can be enabled and configured by an administrator.
License: The project is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
Mobile experience: The site describes GoAlert as responsive and mobile friendly, accessible from a phone or work computer.
SMS limitation: Two-way SMS is available for US-based numbers; the guide says Indian government regulations do not allow two-way SMS.
Support: The project lists [email protected] and the #goalert channel in Gophers Slack as ways to get help.
