# Alerts Extensions
Updog doesn't do any monitoring by itself. Instead, extensions are used to check the status of whatever thing, send alerts, and log stuff. Updog just chains them together.
Example extension: [askiiart/updog-alerts_template](https://git.askiiart.net/askiiart/updog-alerts_template)
## Folder layout
Extensions need to be put in the `./extensions/alerts` folder, and the name of the file must match the name of the folder.
```txt
.
├── extensions
│ ├── alerts
│ └── alerts_template
│ └── alerts_template.py
```
