Create Monitor Group

Create Monitor Group

When creating a monitor group, you specify its name and description as well as the warning and error levels. You can also specify a stakeholder that will receive email notifications if the group goes into failed state.

Each field involved in creating a monitor group will be described in detail below. Some fields have a default value, but can be changed according to your preferences.

When you are done filling in the required fields, press the 'Save' [1] button to save your changes and create the group. Press 'Cancel' [1] to abort and return to the 'Monitor Config Page'.
