Target Groups

Target Groups let you organize multiple alarm targets into named collections. Instead of referencing targets one by one inside a rule, you can reference a single target group and notify all of its members at once.

Layout

The tab uses a vertical splitter:

  • Left — Table of all target groups.
  • Right — Details panel for the selected group.

Target groups table

The table has two columns:

ColumnDescription
Target GroupThe group name, followed by the number of members in brackets (e.g., on-call [3]).
ActionsA remove button appears for the selected group.

Toolbar actions

  • Add Target Group — Opens a prompt to name and create a new group.
  • Filter Target Groups — Quick text filter by group name.
  • Refresh — Reloads the group list from the cluster.

Adding a group

Click Add Target Group, enter a name, and confirm. The new group is created with zero members and is automatically selected.

Removing a group

Select the group and click the trash icon. You will be asked to confirm. Removing a group does not delete the underlying targets — it only removes the grouping.

warning

If a rule references a target group you delete, that rule will no longer be able to resolve its recipients. Update or delete affected rules before removing a group.

Target group details

When a group is selected, the right panel shows two editable sections.

Target Group Name

The name of the group is displayed read-only. To rename a group you must delete it and recreate it with the new name.

Members

A chip input lists the current members of the group. Members are the names of individual alarm targets (not email addresses or user IDs).

  • Add a member — Type the exact name of an existing target and press Enter.
  • Remove a member — Click the × on the member chip.

tip

The member names must match target names exactly. If you mistype a name, the rule that uses this group will fail to resolve the target at runtime.

Saving changes

When you modify the member list, an Apply Changes button appears in the bottom-right corner. Click it to persist the changes to the cluster. If any member is empty or duplicated, validation will prevent the save.
