30. Notifications Group

A notification group refers to the way of sending alarm notifications and contact information, by recording user emails, webhook addresses, and sending alarm notifications of different resources through the above two methods to notify people, in order to divide responsibility and refine alarm notifications.

• A notification group is a combination of notification people, which can include one or more contacts.
