Create a contact group - Managed Service for OpenTelemetry

When you create an alert rule, you can specify a contact group as the receiver of alert notifications. If the alert rule is triggered, Tracing Analysis sends alert notifications to the contacts in the contact group. This topic describes how to create contact groups.

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.

Create a contact

Procedure

Log on to the Tracing Analysis console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alert History > Alert Contacts.
On the Contact Group tab, click Create a contact group in the upper-right corner.
In the Create Contact Group dialog box, enter a group name in the Group Name field, select alert contacts in the Contact Members list, and then click OK.
Note
If no options are displayed in the Contact Members list, you must first create a contact. For more information, see Create a contact.

What to do next

To search for a contact group, go to the Contact Group tab, enter the contact group name or keywords of the name in the search box, and then click the icon.
Important
Keywords are case-sensitive.
To edit a contact group, click the icon to the right of the contact group, edit the related information in the Edit Contact Group dialog box, and then click OK.
To view the contacts in a contact group, click the icon to the left of the contact group to show the group.
Note
You can remove one or more contacts from a shown contact group. To remove a contact, click Remove in the Operation column corresponding to the contact.

Important
Before you delete a contact group, make sure that no monitoring job is running. Otherwise, features such as alerting may be disabled.
