You can create an escalation policy for alerts that remain unresolved for extended periods. After you create an escalation policy in a notification policy, Enterprise Distributed Application Service (EDAS) sends alert notifications to the specified contacts by using the specified notification methods. This ensures that the contacts can take necessary actions to clear the alerts at the earliest opportunity.
Prerequisites
Contacts are created. For more information, see Create a contact.

In the section for configuring an escalation rule, specify a condition to trigger the escalated notifications.
