The record

What it does: OpsKnight is a self-hosted incident command and on-call platform with alerting, paging, escalation policies, war rooms, status pages, and incident timelines.
Incident workflow: It turns monitoring webhooks into incidents that responders can acknowledge, assign, resolve, and group by fingerprint to reduce duplicate paging.
On-call and paging: It supports rotations, time zones, swaps, and paging through SMS, push, Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, and automated voice calls with keypad acknowledgment.
Status and reporting: The Community edition includes one public, restricted, or private status page per install, plus SLA policies, support-hours rules, and MTTA/MTTR analytics.
Integrations: The integrations page lists 27 native integrations, including Datadog, Sentry, Prometheus Alertmanager, Grafana Alerting, AWS CloudWatch, GitHub Actions, Slack, and Jira Cloud.
Custom ingestion: Generic JSON webhooks are supported, with SHA-256 fingerprint deduplication for custom monitoring tools and scripts.
Security: The security page says credentials are encrypted at rest in PostgreSQL using AES-256-CBC envelope encryption, and inbound webhooks use cryptographic verification.
Identity controls: OpsKnight supports local accounts and OIDC single sign-on with Google Workspace, Okta, Azure AD, Keycloak, and Authentik, along with workspace and team roles.
Telemetry and hosting: OpsKnight says it has no hosted SaaS cloud, external telemetry beacons, or vendor phone-home; the Community data plane runs in the operator’s environment.
Deployment requirements: The install page lists Docker Engine 20+ with Compose 2+ or Kubernetes 1.24+, PostgreSQL 14+, and configured secrets as prerequisites.
Commercial boundary: The Community application is licensed under AGPL-3.0-only, while separately licensed Enterprise modules, support, or hosted offerings may be offered independently.
Intended users and limitation: OpsKnight describes itself as intended for SRE, DevOps, and platform teams that can run Postgres, Docker, or Kubernetes, and says it is not for users who need a fully managed hosted service today.
Phone access: Responders can acknowledge incidents from an installable PWA that uses the same login as desktop; the site says it is not a separate app-store product.
