# Uptime

[<mark style="color:blue;">Uptime</mark>](https://uptime.com/go) is an uptime monitoring service and can help websites to check downtime, page speed, and domain health.

Route detailed alerts from Uptime to the right users in Squadcast.

### Using Uptime as an Alert Source

**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.

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

Whenever Uptime fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Also, when an alert is cleared in Uptime, the corresponding incident gets **auto-resolved** in Squadcast.
