# Uptime Kuma Integration
Connecting [Uptime Kuma](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma) to ilert allows uptime failures – such as service downtime or unreachable hosts – to generate technical alerts for on-call teams. Escalations are automated to reduce response time and improve overall availability.

3. Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams and click **Next**.
