OpenSearch:Contact management

Last Updated:May 30, 2025

Overview

OpenSearch Retrieval Engine Edition uses CloudMonitor to monitor your instances and sends alert notifications to the alert contacts or alert contact groups that you specify when you create alert rules. To receive alert notifications, you must create contacts and contact groups, and then add contacts to contact groups. When you create an alert rule, you can select a contact or contact group. The system sends alert notifications to the contact or contact group that you specify.
