The Grafana Slack integration sends Grafana alerts to Slack through All Quiet. A Grafana webhook contact point sends alerts to All Quiet, which creates an incident, notifies the on-call engineer and posts the incident to the Slack channels you chose, tagging the engineer on call if you enable it. If nobody responds, All Quiet escalates to the next person.

In All Quiet, open Inbound Integrations, click + Create, choose Grafana as the type, select a team and copy the webhook URL.

Invite the app with /invite @All Quiet (or @All Quiet EU on allquiet.eu) and select the channels that receive incidents, for all severities or only the ones you choose.

Use cases

Alert rules to the right team channel.

Severity filters send each team channel only the incidents it should see, so a critical alert reaches the on-call channel while low-severity alerts stay with the team that owns the dashboard.

On-call escalation behind the message.

All Quiet notifies the engineer on call by app, SMS or phone call and escalates to the next person if nobody responds, so a Grafana alert in a quiet channel still reaches someone.

Who is on call, from Slack.

Type /aq oncall in Slack to see who is on call in each escalation tier, or /aq new to open an incident by hand when you spot a problem on a dashboard.

FAQ

How do I connect Grafana to Slack?

Create an inbound integration for Grafana in All Quiet and add its webhook URL in Grafana. Then create an outbound integration for Slack. The Grafana setup guide and the Slack setup guide on docs.allquiet.app walk through each step.

What does All Quiet add between Grafana and Slack?

All Quiet turns each Grafana alert into an incident, notifies the engineer on call, escalates if nobody responds and keeps a record of the incident. Slack receives the incident with that context.

Can I try the Grafana Slack integration for free?

Yes. Start a free trial of All Quiet and connect Grafana and Slack during the trial.

Where is my data hosted?

All Quiet is a European incident management platform: built in Berlin, with selectable EU data residency in Frankfurt, GDPR compliance, and ISO 27001 certification. Alert data for EU customers is stored and processed in Frankfurt. That matters for on-call specifically because alert and escalation data routinely contains production system details.

How is this different from Grafana's Slack contact point?

Grafana's Slack contact point posts alert notifications to one Slack channel per contact point, with a customisable title and body. All Quiet adds on-call between Grafana and Slack. The alert becomes an incident, the on-call engineer is notified by phone, SMS, push or email, it escalates if nobody responds, and one integration can post to several channels by severity.

Does it work with Grafana Cloud and self-hosted Grafana?

Yes. All Quiet receives alerts through Grafana's Webhook contact point, which Grafana documents for Grafana Cloud, Grafana Enterprise and open source Grafana. The setup steps are the same for all three.
