Recipient Groups

Last updated on 04 September, 2024

Similar to a mailing list, a recipient group is a single entity that holds multiple alert delivery recipients. Consisting of multiple user accounts or other recipient groups, recipient accounts act as time-saving shortcuts when the same group of recipients needs to be notified of a variety of different types of alerts. After you configure a Recipient Group, it becomes available to add to an escalation chain. For more information, see Escalation Chains.

Requirements for Creating a Recipient Group

The level of permissions determine which users or previously-created recipient groups are available for selection when adding recipients. You must have view permissions for each recipient or recipient group you want to add to the stage.

Creating a Recipient Group

  1. In LogicMonitor, navigate to Settings > Alert > Recipient Groups, and select Add Recipient Group Add icon.
  2. Enter a name and description for the recipient group.
    This information displays in the list of Recipient Groups.

Note: The value you enter in the Name field is the value that is displayed in the escalation chain when adding recipients to a stage. For more information, see Escalation Chains.

  1. Add recipients to your recipient group by doing the following:
    1. In the Recipients settings, enter a value for a recipient in the User field.
      LogicMonitor performs a lookup as you type to try and match users.
    2. If you added an individual user as a recipient, select a value for a contact method from the Contact Method field.
      You can add an LM Integration as a contact method.

Recommendation: Create a dedicated user account to associate with the integration to add an LM integration as a recipient. For more information about creating users, see Users.
