Managing Notification Groups

On the Console, a notification group is denoted as a destination. This means this group is the recipient of notifications.

Purpose: The ArcSight Console has default destination groups that you can use. A destination group is assigned to users to receive specific notifications.

Where used:

• User attribute, described in Creating or Editing a User

• Rule action for sending notifications in case certain rule conditions are met. See Rule Actions Reference.

Where: Navigator > Resources > Notifications > Destinations > Shared > All Destinations

To create or edit destination groups:

1. If you are creating a group, right-click All Destinations and select New Group.

   If you are editing a group, right-click the group and select Edit Group.

2. Set the following attributes:

   Field	Description
   Name	Enter a name for the group. Caution: If you are renaming an existing group, check for the following: If this group is assigned to a user, edit that user's Notification Groups attribute by selecting the renamed destination. If a rule action to send notification is set to send to this group, edit that rule action by selecting the renamed destination.
   Reference Pages	Enter text as required for the group or for members. Refer to Reference Pages for information.

Entering data in the Common and Assign sections is optional, depending on how your environment is configured. For information about the Common and Assign attributes sections, as well as the read-only attribute fields in Parent Groups and Creation Information, see Common Resource Attribute Fields.

3. Press Enter.

1. In the Notifications resource tree, right-click a group and choose Rename.

2. In the text field, rename the group.

3. Press Enter.

To delete destination groups:
