Follow the steps below to configure a service so as to extract its related alert data from SignalFx.

Squadcast will then process this information to create incidents for this service as per your preferences.

1. Navigate to **Services** -> **Service Overview** -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click **Add**.

**Important:**

When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources, you can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source. An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
{% endhint %}

### Setup alerts to send notifications to Squadcast webhook

Go to your SignalFx dashboard and set up a detector for the metric for which you want to get alerts.

Then create a **New Alert rule** for the detector and define Alert Signal, Alert condition, Alert settings and Alert message.

For **Alert recipients**, click on the **Add Recipient** button and then select **Webhook** and proceed to add a custom webhook.

That's it!

* Now your SignalFx integration is good to go and whenever an alert is triggered in SignalFx, an incident will automatically get created in Squadcast.
* The SignalFx Integration comes with an **Auto-Resolve** feature, meaning, when an alert goes under the threshold and gets resolved in SignalFx will automatically get resolved in Squadcast as well.
