If you have created a notification and specified recipients, AS sends notifications to the specified recipients when a scaling activity occurs.
Step 1: Defining Notification Recipients
Enter the user management console, and you can see the contact information of the account registrant.
If you want more people to receive notifications, such as other members of the Ops team, you can click Create to create more.
If you are the only one using your account, you can skip this step because the system has created a Developer account by default.
Step 2: Defining User Groups (Recipient Classification)
AS takes User Group but not Recipients as a unit to send notifications.
Scenario Example
- If you want only yourself to receive notifications, you can create a user group with only your contact information.
- You have defined a number of notification recipients, who may be in the same or different departments. You may want to have a certain type of notifications sent to the recipients of department A, and another type to the recipients of department B. To do so, you can define a user group and add the different notification recipients to the corresponding user groups.
How to Set Up?
- Enter user group management, click Create User Group, fill in the user name, and click Submit.
- Then click Add User and add the relevant notification recipients.
Step 3: Using User Groups
When defining the alarm-triggering policy and notification policy of AS, you can see the user groups you have defined in the list of notification recipients. You can set the user groups specified for notification as needed.
