Using contact groups

Contact Groups​

Contact Groups are used to notify contacts:

  • In the definition of a host or a service
  • In the definition of an escalation of notifications

In addition, the groups of contacts are also used during the definition of an access group.

Consequently, it is necessary to group contacts together in a logical way. Most of the time, they are grouped together according to their roles in the information systems. e.g.: DSI, Windows Administrators, Linux Administrators, Person in charge of the Salary Management application, etc.
