Grafana posts alerts through its own Slack and Microsoft Teams contact points. SyncRivo does not relay bot or app messages — it bridges the human conversation, so SRE and engineering teams on Slack and Teams can discuss an alert together in one bridged channel.
Grafana alerts and notifications — including Grafana OnCall and Prometheus AlertManager alerts — delivered by Grafana's native contact points.
Metric threshold breaches posted to SRE and engineering channels by Grafana's Slack and Teams contact points.
Grafana no-data conditions (missing metric scrapes) delivered to on-call channels by Grafana contact points.
Alert resolution (OK) events posted to incident channels so stakeholders know the issue is cleared without polling Grafana.
Grafana OnCall on-call notifications and incident alerts delivered by OnCall's own chat integrations.
Grafana-routed Prometheus AlertManager alerts delivered through Grafana contact points.
Grafana SLO alerts for error budget burn rate breaches posted to SRE and leadership channels by contact points.
Alerts come from Grafana's native contact points; SyncRivo bridges the discussion.
Example channel layout configured in Grafana notification policies for SRE teams across multi-platform organizations.
| Grafana Alert | Native Integration Posts To | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Threshold breach (Critical) | → Slack #sre-alerts + Teams #engineering-incidents | Posted by each contact point; discussion can be bridged by SyncRivo |
| Threshold breach (Warning) | → Slack #sre-alerts | Team channel only — no leadership escalation |
| No-data condition | → Slack #monitoring-alerts | Scrape failure surfaced to the monitoring channel |
| Alert resolved (OK) | → All subscribed channels | All-clear broadcast confirms issue resolved |
| Grafana OnCall incident | → Slack #on-call + Teams #engineering-leadership | On-call notification with leadership visibility |
| SLO error budget burn | → Slack #sre-alerts + Teams #eng-leadership | SLO degradation visible across teams simultaneously |
| Capability | Grafana Native | SyncRivo |
|---|---|---|
| Alert to Slack | ✓ Built-in contact point | — Not relayed (SyncRivo does not relay bot or app posts) |
| Alert to Microsoft Teams | ✓ Built-in contact point (Grafana 9+) | — Not relayed; use the native contact point |
| Human discussion across Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, Zoom | ✗ Not available | ✓ Bridged channels, threads, edits and files |
| Setup | Configured in Grafana notification policies | First channel bridge typically live during onboarding, after admin approval |
Yes. Grafana Alerting has a built-in Microsoft Teams contact point (available in Grafana 9+). SyncRivo is not a webhook routing layer: it does not accept Grafana webhooks and does not relay messages posted by bots or apps. It bridges the human conversation, so SREs on Slack and engineering leadership on Teams can discuss an alert together in one bridged channel.
Grafana has a native Slack contact point. Configure it in Alerting → Contact Points with your Slack webhook or OAuth token. If you also need the alert in Teams, add Grafana's built-in Teams contact point to the same notification policy. SyncRivo then bridges the discussion between the Slack and Teams channels.
Yes, using Grafana's notification policy tree: match alert labels, severity, or folder to Slack and Teams contact points. SyncRivo is not part of alert routing. It bridges the human discussion, so the SRE team in Slack and leadership in Teams can coordinate in one conversation.
No. SyncRivo does not accept webhooks from Grafana or other tools, and it does not relay messages posted by bots or apps. Use Grafana's native Slack and Teams contact points to post notifications; SyncRivo bridges the human discussion between chat platforms.
None — SyncRivo does not route Grafana alerts. Grafana's contact points deliver threshold alerts, no-data alerts, execution-error alerts, resolved (OK) notifications, and Grafana OnCall notifications. SyncRivo bridges the conversations people have about them across Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom Team Chat.
Not as an alert destination. Grafana OnCall delivers on-call notifications through its own Slack and Teams integrations. SyncRivo can bridge the incident channel where responders discuss the page, so human replies from Slack and Teams users appear on both sides.
Grafana alert routing is configured per contact point in Grafana's notification policy tree, so a team that moves from Slack to Teams needs its contact point updated in Grafana. SyncRivo does not change alert routing; during the transition it can bridge channels between Slack and Teams so both groups keep discussing incidents in one conversation.
