A notification list gives you a way to group contacts to be added to alerts. Lets add one.
1
In the client area put your mouse on website monitoring then choose the notification lists option.
2
Click add notification list.
3
Put in any name you want. Click Next.
4
Here you want to choose the contacts you want to add to this list. Click save.

Now you will see a few options.
- Send First Alert: this allows you to delay the 1st email. This is handy if you have more than one contact. For example I want my webmaster to get a notice the first time there’s a problem. But don’t bother the owner with an email unless there have been 5 failures.
- Repeat: This allows you to skip some emails. So for example if you have the service checked every 5 minutes. You get the first problem notice then if you have this set to after every 1 check you’ll get an email every 5 minutes. If you set this to every 2 checks you’ll get an email every 10 minutes.
- Max Alerts per Failure: This keeps you from getting flooded with emails should there be an extended outage.
- Recovery Alert: Do you want a recovery email to let you know the server is back online?
That’s all there is to it. Now you’re ready to add a check.
