# Cloud Monitoring

This category covers native monitoring services from major cloud providers. These tools track resource consumption, service health, budget thresholds, and platform-level events across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Alibaba Cloud — and forward alerts to ITOC360 when action is required.

### How it works

Cloud monitoring services generate alerts when resource metrics, cost thresholds, or platform health events meet defined conditions. These alerts are forwarded to ITOC360 via webhooks — typically through notification channels like AWS SNS, Azure Action Groups, or Google Cloud notification channels. ITOC360 receives the payload, parses the alert details, and routes the incident to the responsible on-call team based on your escalation policies.

{% hint style="info" %}
ITOC360 generates a unique webhook URL per Source. Go to **Management > Sources**, create a Source, and paste the webhook URL into your cloud provider's notification or action group settings.
{% endhint %}
