# Microsoft SCOM Integration
Integrate MS SCOM alerts into ilert to forward server or application events to on-call responders and streamline technical alert management.
By connecting [Microsoft System Center Operations Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/scom/welcome?view=sc-om-2025) (SCOM) to ilert, you centralize alert ingestion from Windows servers and applications. These technical alerts are routed to on-call teams for structured escalation, helping reduce response time and ensure system reliability.
## In ilert: Create an Microsoft SCOM alert source
1. Go to **Alerting** → **Alert sources** and click **Create new alert source**.
2. Search for **Microsoft SCOM**, click its tile, and click **Next**.
3. Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click **Next**.
4. Choose who gets notified: select **Use existing escalation policy** and pick a policy, or **Generate new escalation policy** to start with a basic one that notifies you first. Click **Next**.
Pick an existing escalation policy, or generate a basic one without leaving the wizard.
5. Select **Default grouping** and click **Continue setup**. It groups events by the alert key the integration sets; the other [grouping options](/alerting/configure-alerting/alert-sources.md#event-grouping) are easier to judge once events are arriving.
6. The next page shows more settings, such as notification priority and alert templates. Click **Finish setup** for now; you can change them later.
7. On the final page, ilert shows the integration key and URL for this alert source. You will need them later in this guide.

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://docs.ilert.com/integrations/inbound-integrations/ms-scom.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.
