# Redgate SQL Monitor
[Redgate SQL Monitor](https://www.red-gate.com/) is a database monitoring software used to easily monitor cloud or on-premises SQL-based databases.
Route detailed alerts from Redgate SQL Monitor to the right users in Squadcast.
### Using Redgate SQL Monitor 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 **Redgate SQL Monitor.** Copy the displayed **Webhook URL** to [configure](#create-a-squadcast-webhook-alert-in-redgate-sql-monitor) it within **Redgate SQL Monitor**. 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 Redgate SQL Monitor
**(1)** Login to your Redgate SQL Monitor dashboard. Head over to the **Configuration** tab. Then under **Alerts and Metrics**, select **Notification settings**
**(2)** Scroll to the **Webhook notifications** section, and choose when a SQL Monitor should send messages to your Webhook
**(3)** You can choose to send the **Default message** itself by selecting the radio button. Paste the previously copied Squadcast Webhook URL in the placeholder for **URL**.
You can also click on **Preview and test** to test the alert. This will create a test incident in Squadcast.
That's it, you are good to go! Your Redgate SQL Monitor integration is now complete. Whenever Redgate SQL Monitor fires an alert with **Status : Raised** or **Escalated**, an incident will be created in Squadcast for it. Also, when an alert status has changed to **Ended** in Redgate SQL Monitor, the corresponding incident gets **auto-resolved** in Squadcast.
