This topic outlines the configuration of alert notification objects for Simple Log Service.
Alert notification objects for Simple Log Service fall into two categories:
Static recipients
Dynamic recipients
You can create users or user groups in the alerting system of Simple Log Service. Then, you can specify one or more users or user groups in an action policy as the recipients of alert notifications. However, this method cannot meet the requirements in special scenarios, such as the following:
Connect to third-party user management systems: Some enterprises have self-managed user management systems. In such cases, the updates of user information in the user management systems cannot be synchronized to the alerting system of Simple Log Service in real time. The organization structure of an enterprise varies based on the users and user groups that are created in the enterprise. Therefore, the user and user group models provided by Simple Log Service are not applicable to all enterprises.
Send alert notifications to dynamic recipients: If your system has multiple services and alert notifications for each service need to be sent to different recipients, you must configure multiple action groups by using the dynamic distribution mechanism of action policies, which increases maintenance costs.
You can now configure dynamic recipients for alert notifications.
