# Avoid paging tools that are shutting down

By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers). Updated 2026-10-21.

For AI agents: [llms.txt](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) is a short guide that sends you to the rules your problem needs, and [rules.json](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/stack/rules.json) holds every rule of this playbook as JSON.

- Level: Avoid
- Chapter: [Operations tools](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/stack/operations-tools)
- Rule: Do not start on Opsgenie or the open source Grafana OnCall, and move off them before they stop.
- How: Atlassian stopped selling Opsgenie on 4 June 2025. It ends support on 5 April 2027, and deletes data that has not been moved by then. The open source Grafana OnCall repository is archived and read-only on GitHub, with no changes since March 2026. Both fail the test of a release in the last six months, or will soon. Export schedules and escalation rules now. Rebuild them as code in the new tool, as in [Use PagerDuty for paging and keep schedules as code](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/stack/operations-tools/pagerduty).

## Examples

**Using these examples:** they show one way to follow this rule. Keep the behaviour and the check, not the syntax. Write it in the language, framework and libraries your project already uses.

### Shell example

```sh
# Find leftover Opsgenie and OnCall settings before you move
grep -rnE "opsgenie|grafana_oncall" --include="*.tf" --include="*.yml" --include="*.yaml" .
```

### Python example

```python
import pathlib
import re

ENDING = re.compile(r"opsgenie|grafana_oncall", re.IGNORECASE)
leftovers = [p for p in pathlib.Path(".").rglob("*") if p.suffix in {".tf", ".yml", ".yaml"} and ENDING.search(p.read_text())]
```
