# Scout APM

Steps to configure Scout APM integration for incident management, using Squadcast

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

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

### Using Scout APM as an Alert Source

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

{% hint style="warning" %}
**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 %}

Then click the **New Webhook** button.

Enter the **Name** of the webhook as **Squadcast webhook** and the **Webhook url** which you have obtained from the previous step and click the **Create Channel** button.

Then go to the **Notification Groups** and add **Squadcast webhook** to the **Default** notification group or create a new notification group and add to it.

Then you can add this **Notification channel** to an **Alert condition** and whenever the alert is fired, an incident will be created automatically in Squadcast.
