Cloud Monitor:Modify an alert contact or alert contact group

Last Updated:Aug 24, 2026

You can modify an alert contact's information or change their alert contact group as needed. This allows you to flexibly manage your alert contacts and alert contact groups.

Modify an alert contact

  1. Log on to the Cloud Monitor 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, update the alert contact's email address and webhook URL. Leave Language of Alert Notifications set to Automatic.

    Note

    The default setting for Language of Alert Notifications is Automatic. This means Cloud Monitor automatically sends alert notifications in the registration language of your Alibaba Cloud account.

  5. (Optional) Test the connectivity of the webhook URL.

    This step verifies that Cloud Monitor can successfully send notifications to your specified webhook URL.

    1. Click Test next to the webhook URL.

      In the Webhook Test panel, the returned status code and test result details help you verify connectivity and troubleshoot issues.

      Note

      You can also set the Template Type and Language for the webhook and click Test again to get detailed test results for that configuration.

    2. Click Close.

  6. After you verify the settings, click Confirm.

  7. (Optional) Activate the email address.

    If you set an email address for an alert contact, its status is Pending Activation by default. To receive alerts, the contact must click the activation link in the email they receive within 24 hours. Once activated, the contact's email address will appear in the alert contact list.

Modify an alert contact group

  1. Log on to the Cloud Monitor console.

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

  3. Click the Alert Contact Group tab.

  4. On the Alert Contact Group tab, find the alert contact group that you want to modify and click the image.png icon in the Actions column.

  5. In the Modify Contact Group panel, update the group's members.

  6. Click Confirm.
