Skylogs

Skylogs is an opensource alert and incident management platform that helps teams detect issues faster, respond more effectively, and stay in control during incidents.

It sits between your observability tools and your on-call teams, turning raw alerts into clear, actionable incidents — and making sure the right people are notified at the right time. If you already use monitoring tools but struggle with alert noise, missed notifications, or unclear incident ownership, Skylogs is built to solve exactly that.

SkyLogs is designed with a distributed and highly available architecture to provide a reliable, centralized, production-grade incident management platform.

Why Skylogs?​

Modern systems generate alerts from many different tools. While those tools are excellent at detecting problems, they often stop there — leaving teams to manually figure out what to do next.

This commonly results in:

  • 🔕 Alert fatigue and noisy notifications
  • ❓ Lack of context around alerts
  • 👤 Unclear incident ownership
  • ⏱️ Slow or inconsistent escalation during outages

Skylogs bridges this gap by acting as a central incident response layer. It collects alerts from multiple sources, reduces noise, creates incidents, and drives a consistent workflow from detection to resolution.

What Skylogs Helps You Do​

With Skylogs, you can:

  • 📥 Collect alerts from multiple observability and monitoring tools
  • 🔔 Convert alerts into well-defined incidents
  • 🧭 Define escalation rules and on-call schedules
  • 📣 Notify teams via email, Slack, SMS, and Microsoft Teams
  • 📊 Track incident status and response progress in one place

All of this is available as a self-hosted, open-source platform that you fully control.
