**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.
