# Sources

By creating a Source, you generate a unique endpoint (Webhook) that allows ITOC360 to receive, parse, and route alerts from your infrastructure.

#### Creating a New Source

To start receiving alerts, you must first configure a source:

1. Navigate to Management > **Sources**.
2. Click the **Create Source** button.
3. **Name:** Enter a descriptive name for this source (e.g., "Production Zabbix Server").
4. **Provider:** Select the integration type from the dropdown menu.
   * ***Supported Providers include:*** Zabbix, Grafana, Manage Engine, New Relic, Prometheus, PRTG, Solarwinds, and an expanding library of 100+ integrations.

#### Configuring the Alert Display

Once a provider is selected, ITOC360 presents the **Alert Display Builder**. This powerful tool allows you to map the incoming data fields from your monitoring tool to the alert format displayed in ITOC360.

* Customize Fields: You can select specific fields (e.g., Hostname, Severity, Error Message) available from the provider's payload.
* Preview: Configure how the alert title and description will appear to your on-call engineers. This ensures that the most critical information is visible at a glance without needing to parse raw JSON.

#### Source Settings

Before finalizing, you can configure the lifecycle and status of the source:

* **Expires At (Optional):** If this source is temporary (e.g., for a specific POC, migration project, or penetration test), you can set an expiration date. The source will automatically stop accepting alerts after this date.
* **Active:** Toggle this ON to enable the source immediately. If switched OFF, the source is created but will reject any incoming data (useful for maintenance modes).

Click **Create** to finish the setup.

#### Retrieving the Webhook Token

After creating the source, you need to connect your external tool to ITOC360.

1. On the **Sources** page, click on the name of the source you just created.
2. Locate the Token section.
3. Copy this Token.
4. Paste this into the notification/webhook configuration settings of your external monitoring tool (e.g., paste it into the Zabbix Media Type script or Grafana Notification Channel).

> Security Tip: Treat your Webhook Token like a password. Anyone with this token can send alerts to your system.
