Alternatives / Opsgenie
Looking for an open source Opsgenie alternative? We compared 8 open source monitoring, alert management, and incident response tools by license, self-hosting, on-call features, and pricing. Only some include on-call scheduling and escalation, so we note which ones replace which part of Opsgenie.

| Uptime Kuma | Self-hosted uptime monitoring and alerts | MIT |
| Keep | Centralizing alerts from many tools | MIT core + EE |
| Gatus | Developer-focused service monitoring | Apache-2.0 |
| OneUptime | Monitoring, incidents, and status pages | Apache-2.0 core + EE |
| Nagios | Established infrastructure monitoring | GPL-2.0 |

| Wachd | On-call with AI root cause analysis | Apache-2.0 |
| Uptimepage | Uptime monitoring with on-call rotations | AGPL-3.0 |
We looked for open-source tools that cover parts of Opsgenie: detecting problems, routing alerts to the right people, on-call scheduling, and incident response. We verified each project's license, recent activity, stars, and self-hosting in its repository. Opsgenie is an alert and on-call platform that receives alerts from monitoring tools, while many alternatives are monitors that generate alerts, so we separate monitoring from on-call management. See our methodology for the full criteria.
Uptime Kuma, Gatus, and Nagios detect failures and send notifications, but they do not provide on-call rotations and escalation policies. Keep centralizes and routes alerts from other tools. OneUptime, Wachd, and Uptimepage add on-call scheduling and incident management, and Operational notifies you about product events rather than infrastructure incidents.
For alert aggregation and routing, use Keep or Wachd, which receive alerts from Grafana, Datadog, and Prometheus. For on-call schedules and escalation, look at OneUptime, Wachd, or Uptimepage. For basic monitoring and notifications, Uptime Kuma, Gatus, and Nagios are enough, and many teams combine them with a dedicated on-call tool.
Uptime Kuma and Keep's core are MIT, with Keep's ee directory under a separate license. Gatus and Wachd are Apache-2.0, OneUptime is Apache-2.0 with an enterprise directory, and Nagios Core is GPL-2.0. Operational and Uptimepage are AGPL-3.0.
All eight can be self-hosted: Uptime Kuma and Gatus run as a single container or binary, Wachd needs Kubernetes, and Keep and OneUptime are heavier platforms. Operational and Uptimepage also offer hosted services.
Uptime Kuma, Keep, Gatus, OneUptime, Nagios, Operational, Wachd, and Uptimepage were all updated within days or weeks of this update. Wachd and Uptimepage are very small and new projects.
Opsgenie is a proprietary Atlassian product for alert routing, on-call schedules, and escalation, billed per user, and Atlassian has announced it is winding the product down in favor of Jira Service Management. Open-source alternatives let you self-host alerting, keep monitoring data private, and avoid per-seat pricing, at the cost of assembling monitoring, alerting, and on-call tools yourself.
| Alternative | Type | License | On-call scheduling | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uptime Kuma | Uptime monitor | MIT | No | Simple monitoring and status pages |
| Keep | Alert management | MIT core + EE | Via integrations | Many monitoring tools |
| Gatus | Service monitor | Apache-2.0 | No | Developer teams |
| OneUptime | Monitoring and incidents | Apache-2.0 core + EE | Yes | Service reliability |
| Nagios | Infrastructure monitor | GPL-2.0 | No | Enterprise infrastructure |
| Operational | Event notifications | AGPL-3.0 | No | Product events |
| Wachd | Alert and on-call | Apache-2.0 | Yes | Regulated environments |
| Uptimepage | Uptime and on-call | AGPL-3.0 | Yes | Client and agency work |
Want the most popular self-hosted uptime monitor
Uptime Kuma monitors HTTP, TCP, DNS, Docker, and databases with 90+ notification integrations, status pages, and a single-container install.
Want to centralize alerts from many monitoring tools
Keep aggregates alerts, filters and routes them, automates workflows, and supports collaborative incident response.
Want on-call and incident management in one tool
OneUptime combines monitoring, alerts, incident management, and status pages, with an open core.
Want AI-assisted alert triage and on-call
Wachd receives alerts from Grafana, Datadog, and Prometheus, schedules on-call, and adds AI root cause analysis, running on Kubernetes.
Want config-as-code service monitoring
Gatus checks HTTP, DNS, TCP, ICMP, and certificates with customizable conditions and alerts, defined in configuration.
Want uptime checks with on-call rotations
Uptimepage offers eight monitor types, on-call rotations, escalation policies, and status pages, but it is a very small project.
Want a mature infrastructure monitor
Nagios Core has a long track record and a huge plugin ecosystem for servers, networks, and applications.
