When you create an alert rule, you can specify a contact group as the receiver of alert notifications. If the alert rule is triggered, Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS) 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.

  4. 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.
