{% 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.
