Detectors linked to teams

When you link detectors to a team, you get the following features:

  • The team landing page displays lists of active alerts.

  • On the Detectors & SLOs page, users can use filters to display only those detectors linked to a specific team.

Note: You can manually add a team as a notification recipient for any detector. You don’t have to link the detector to the team.

You can only link a detector to a team if you have write permission for the detector. To learn more, see View and manage permissions for detectors.

To link a detector to a team, follow these steps:

  1. From the Actions menu for the detector, select Links to teams.

  2. From the drop-down list, select the team you want to link to the detector, then select Done.

  3. If the team is not already a notification recipient for the detector, Splunk Observability Cloud asks if you want to send notifications to the team. Select Yes to add the team as a recipient to each detector rule. Select No to leave all recipients as is.

Note: Sending alert notifications to a team doesn’t necessarily mean that every team member is notified. The team’s notification policy determines which team members receive notifications. To learn more about configuring team notification policies, see Manage team notifications in Splunk Observability Cloud.
