# Cronitor
[Cronitor](https://www.cronitor.io/) is a simple monitoring tool for every application that provides performance insights and uptime monitoring for cron jobs, websites and APIs.
Route detailed alerts from Cronitor to the right users in Squadcast.
### Using Cronitor 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 **Cronitor**. Copy the displayed **Webhook URL** to [configure](#create-a-squadcast-webhook-alert-in-cronitor) it within **Cronitor**. 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 Cronitor
**(1)** Login to your Cronitor dashboard. Head over to the **Settings** tab and click on **Alerts**
**(2)** Click on **Create Notification List**. Fill in the **Name**, **Unique Key** and paste the previously copied Squadcast Webhook URL in the placeholder for **Webhook Endpoints**. Then click on **Save Notification List**
The created alert can then be added to **Jobs**, **Checks** & **Heartbeats**.
That's it, you are good to go! Your Cronitor integration is now complete. Whenever Cronitor fires an alert, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Also, when an alert is resolved in Cronitor, the corresponding incident gets **auto-resolved** in Squadcast.

## 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/cronitor.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.
