About the plugin

Rootly's Backstage plugin allows users to automatically sync and display incidents managed with Rootly in their Backstage Software Catalog. Users can view all incidents and the service(s) they impact, as well as historical data and trends from past incidents, all within Backstage.

  • Mitigate service reliability risks

    Rootly's plugin for Backstage gives users visibility into trends from current and historical incidents impacting services. Leverage this information to minimize reliability risks of your critical services.

  • Automate your incident response processes

    Build highly configurable and simple automations to streamline your incident responses processes. These might include handling internal and external communications during an incident, auto-generating retrospectives, paging responders, and more.

  • Use Backstage as the single source of truth

    Avoid context switching by automatically syncing incident data with Backstage, so your Software Catalog can remain a single source of truth for the health of your services.

Rootly features

Import services

By importing your Backstage Software Catalog to Rootly, incidents are automatically associated with defined services. This allows Rootly to automatically surface in runbooks to identify action items immediately upon incident creation, reducing your time to resolution.
