Have you worked out which members of your devops team will be on-call this Christmas? Don’t worry if you haven’t, because we’ve just made it much easier to manage who gets alerted when things go wrong.

You can now create multiple Alert Groups – allowing you to assign groups of people to receive alerts for different hosts, and to swap between them easily.

Each of your existing Host-Specific alert settings has been migrated to a new Alert Group, and your default alert recipients are now your Default Alert Group.

We hope you enjoy this much requested feature, and would love to hear your feedback on our implementation.

This deployment did involve significant changes to our alert system, so do let us know if you spot anything that doesn’t look right.

Merry Christmas!
