You can modify the information of an alert contact. You can also add alert contacts to or remove alert contacts from an alert contact group at any time. This allows you to manage alert contacts and alert contact groups flexibly.

Modify an alert contact

  1. Log on to the CloudMonitor console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alerts > Alert Contacts.
  3. On the Alert Contacts tab, find the alert contact that you want to modify and click Edit in the Actions column.
  4. In the Set Alert Contact panel, modify the email address and webhook URL of the alert contact. Retain the default value Automatic for the Language of Alert Notifications parameter.
    Note Automatic indicates that CloudMonitor automatically selects the language of alert notifications based on the language that you use to create your Alibaba Cloud account.
  5. Optional. Test the connectivity of the webhook URL.
    If you want to test the connectivity of the webhook URL, perform the following steps:
    1. Click Test next to the webhook URL.
      In the WebHook test panel, you can check and troubleshoot the connectivity of the webhook URL based on the returned status code and test result details.

    2. Click Close.
  6. Verify the parameters and click OK.

Otherwise, the alert contact cannot receive alert notifications. After the email address is activated, you can view the email address in the alert contact list.
