[<mark style="color:blue;">SigNoz</mark>](https://signoz.io/) is an open source Datadog or New Relic alternative. A single tool for all your observability needs - APM, logs, metrics, exceptions, alerts, and dashboards powered by a powerful query builder.

{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Important**</mark>**:**

When an alert source turns <mark style="color:green;">Active</mark>, 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 <mark style="color:green;">active</mark> if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
{% endhint %}

That's it, you are good to go! Your SigNoz integration is now complete.

Whenever SigNoz fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Once the tool sends a **resolved** alert, it will automatically be resolved in Squadcast as well.
