Create a contact group

Updated at:

You can specify a contact group as the recipient of alert notifications. When an alert rule is triggered, Managed Service for OpenTelemetry sends notifications to all contacts in the group.

Prerequisites

Note ARMS no longer supports the alert feature of the old version. You can use the new alert management feature to create contact groups. For more information, see Contact groups.

A contact has been created.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Managed Service for OpenTelemetry console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alert Management > Alert Contacts.

  3. On the Contact Group tab, click Create Contact Group in the upper-right corner.

  4. In the Create Contact Group dialog box, enter a Group Name, select Alert Contacts, and then click Confirm.

    Note

    If the Alert Contacts list is empty, create a contact first.

Next steps

  • To search for a contact group, on the Contact Group tab, enter a full or partial group name in the search box and click Search.

    Important

    The search is case-sensitive.

  • To edit a contact group, click the image.png icon next to it. In the Edit Contact Group dialog box, update the details and click OK.

  • To view the contacts in a contact group, click the image.png icon next to the group to expand it.

    Note

    You can remove contacts from the expanded group. To remove a contact, click Remove in its Actions column.

  • To delete a contact group, click the image.png icon next to the contact group, and then click Delete in the confirmation message.

    Important

    Before you delete a contact group, make sure that no monitoring tasks are using it. Otherwise, alerting may fail.
