Teams

Teams are used to group members so that they can be associated with other resources within Canary like hosts, monitors, notifications and incidents.

Each team needs a manager and on-call member defined for use by these resources. The same person can be assigned both the team roles of manager and on-call member.

A monitor and a host must be linked to a team. Only one team at a time can be linked to a monitor. This assignment is done in each monitor when it is created or edited.

Only the team manager or the organisation owner can make changes to teams.

Manager

The manager has the ability to add and remove team members. Only members of the same organisation can be added to a team.

On-Call

The on-call role for a team can be used in notifications based on monitor status changes. Different notification types allow for the current on-call

Team Members

The team manager can add and remove members from the Canary organisation.

In the Settings menu on the left of the Canary site, choose Teams. From the list of Teams, choose the team that you want to edit. If you do not have edit permissions you will only see a View option.

To add an organsation member to the team, select them from the drop-down menu in the Team Members section.

Deleting a Team

To delete a team you can use the contect menu when viewing the list of all teams, or the Delete this Team button when viewing a single team.

You cannot delete a team when it is still linked to a monitor. When viewing the list of teams, the blue badge next to each name shows the number of monitors the team is linked to.

A request to delete a team requires confirmation.
