# Uptime Kuma Integration
Send Uptime Kuma monitoring alerts into ilert to notify on‑call responders about downtime or service issues quickly.
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.
## In ilert: Create an Uptime Kuma alert source
1. Go to **Alerting** → **Alert sources** and click **Create new alert source**.
2. Search for **Uptime Kuma**, 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 Uptime Kuma: Add ilert Webhook
1. Select any monitor you want to send notifications from.
2. Click on **Edit**
3. Now click on **Setup Notification**
4. Choose **Webhook** in the Notification Type field
5. Add a **Friendly Name** for your the notification
6. In Post URL add the [previous](#in-ilert-create-an-uptime-kuma-alert-source) created **Uptime Kuma URL**
7. Choose **application/json** as Content Type
8. Optional: click on **Test** to test the notification
9. Click on **Save** to finish the Setup
## FAQ
**Will alerts in ilert be resolved automatically?**
Yes, as soon as the monitor in Uptime Kuma sends an "OK" notification, the associated alert is automatically resolved in ilert.

## 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/uptime-kuma.md?ask=&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.
