Server Migration Center:Subscribe to SMC migration task error-related event notifications

Step 1: Create alert contacts and alert contact groups

To receive notifications about SMC migration task errors, you must first create alert contacts and alert contact groups, then add alert contacts to the group.

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

   2. On the Alert Contacts tab, click Create Alert Contact.

   3. In the Set Alert Contact panel, configure the necessary parameters for the alert contact.

      The following table describes the key parameters. You can retain the default values for other parameters. For more information, see Create an Alert Contact.

      Parameter	Description
      Name	The name of the alert contact. The name must start with a letter and must be 2 to 40 characters in length. It can contain letters, digits, periods (.), and underscores (_).
      Region for Alert Notification Service	The region where you want to use the alert notification service. Data provided by the alert notification service, such as the contact name and email address, are stored and processed in the selected region.
      Phone	Only mobile phone numbers prefixed with the country code 86 support alert notifications via text messages.
