# ServerGuard24 Integration

Connecting ServerGuard24 with ilert enables real-time alerts and streamlined incident management, allowing teams to respond swiftly to server issues and minimize downtime

[ServerGuard24](https://www.serverguard24.com/index.html) is a comprehensive server monitoring service that ensures the availability and performance of your IT systems. It offers a range of monitoring solutions, including website monitoring, mail server monitoring, database server monitoring, and security monitoring. This guide helps to connect ServerGuard24 with ilert.

## In ilert: Create a ServerGuard24 alert source <a href="#create-alarm-source" id="create-alarm-source"></a>

1. Go to **Alerting** → **Alert sources** and click **Create new alert source**.
2. Search for **ServerGuard24**, 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**.

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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ilert.com/integrations/inbound-integrations/serverguard24.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
