# Blue Matador
[Blue Matador](https://www.bluematador.com/) is the fastest, easiest way to set up AWS infrastructure monitoring, allowing small teams to fully monitor their cloud with no manual setup.
Route alerts from Blue Matador to the right users in Squadcast.
### Using Blue Matador 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**.
2. Select **Blue Matador.** Copy the displayed **Webhook URL** to [configure](https://github.com/solarwinds-cloud/sq-Gitbook/blob/main/integrations/alert-source-integrations-native/blue-matador.md#create-a-squadcast-webhook-alert-in-blue-matador) it within **Blue Matador.** Finish by clicking **Add Alert Source** -> **Done.**
{% 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 %}
### Create a Squadcast Webhook Alert in Blue Matador
**(1)** Login to your **Blue Matador** dashboard and after your initial configuration, navigate to the **SETUP** section. Under **Available Notification Integrations**, click on **Connect** button for the **Squadcast** integration
**(2)** Under the **Squadcast** integration, put in the **Integration Name** and select **Alerts** & **Warnings** you would want to send to Squadcast. Paste the previously copied Squadcast Webhook URL in the placeholder for **Webhook**. Then click on **Save**
That's it, you are good to go! Your Blue Matador integration is now complete.
Whenever Blue Matador fires an alert or warning, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Once the tool sends an **Resolve** alert, it will automatically be resolved in Squadcast as well.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://support.incidents.cloud.solarwinds.com/integrations/alert-source-integrations-native/blue_matador.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
