To facilitate the use of Contact groups, we’ve created for you a number of default Contact groups according to the Host groups template available in APM. If you want to quickly start using APM, you can use these pre-defined Contact groups and add to them the Contacts that you want. Here are the names of the pre-defined Contact groups:
- contact_groups
- network-admins
- novell-admins
- printer-admins
- unix-admins
- windows-admins
Each Contact group listed above relates to a Host group template as follows:
- Contact group template“novell-admins” relates to the “Novell Servers” Host groups template.
- Contact group template“printer-admins” relates to the “Printers” Host groups template.
- Contact group template “unix-admins” relates to the “Unix Servers” Host groups template.
- Contact group template“windows-admins” relates to the “Windows Servers” Host groups template.
- Contact group template “network-admins” relates to the “Network Devices”, “UPS Servers”, “Monitoring” and “Apple Devices” Host groups templates.
Note: Any devices that doesn’t fall into one of the above definitions, goes into the “contact_groups” template and will automatically have this default Contact group associated to them.
