# Pingdom Integration
The ilert Pingdom Integration helps you to easily connect ilert with Pingdom.
[Pingdom](https://www.pingdom.com/) is a website monitoring service provided by SolarWinds that offers real-time performance and uptime monitoring for websites, applications, and servers. With Pingdom integration, you can easily integrate Pingdom into ilert. The integration uses the [webhooks](https://help.pingdom.com/hc/en-us/articles/207081599) from Pingdom. Thus, you can easily extend pingdom with SMS, push and voice messaging, as well as rosters from ilert.
## In ilert: Create a Pingdom alert source
1. Go to **Alerting** → **Alert sources** and click **Create new alert source**.
2. Search for **Pingdom**, 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.
## In Pingdom: Create a new integration
1. Click on "Integrations" in the Pingdom Dashboard and click on "Integrations" on the right side of the menu
2. On the following page, click on the button "Add integration". In the pop-up dialog, select the integration type "Webhook" and assign a name (eg ilert). In the "URL" field, copy the Webhook URL from the alert source set up in ilert and click on "Save integration".
3. The integration can now be used in pingdom checks. Switch to a pingdom check and click on "Edit". Activate the ilert Webhook integration and click on "Modify check".
## FAQ

`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.
