Overview

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. You need to 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.
