I'm not sure on this one. Maybe best to check through your Aruba partner or Aruba Support, and if your observation is correct, I agree it's not logical and you may need to open an enhancement request through the Aruba Innovation Zone which partners have access to.

Subject: Configure alerts at group level in Aruba Central
Hello Herman,
Thanks for your answer. In fact, I'm looking for a solution to create multiple alerts based on certain conditions. In the Aruba documentation on alerts, you'll find the filtering options detailed below:
"
- Device Filter Options-(Optional) You can restrict the scope of an alert by setting one or more of the following parameters:
- Group-Select a group to limit the alert to a specific group.
- Label-Select a label to limit the alert to a specific label.
- Device-Select a device to limit the alert to a specific device.
- Site-Select a site to limit the alert to a specific site.
"
Trying out these options, I understand the following:
- You can apply a filter to an alert and it works fine. For example, I can filter the AP disconnection alert on a defined list of APs.
- But it doesn't seem possible to configure another alert for other APs not on the list. This doesn't seem logical at all.
Am I the one who doesn't understand how to use the filter options? Or is it just not possible to create 2 (or more) alerts of the same type?

Groups are to keep configuration in Central.
You could use sites to logically segment your network management. If you create a site (with the same devices that are in a group), you can override the alert filtering for a site. I don't think the same works for the webhooks, which is something that you could request as a feature in the Aruba Innovation Zone.

Hi everyone,
Despite the Aruba Central documentation, I'm not sure I understand how to configure alerts by filtering by group. Below is my requirement:
- I have two groups of devices, group 1 and group 2.
- I want alerts concerning devices in group 1 to be sent to e-mail address number 1 and via webhook number 1.
- I want alerts concerning devices in group 2 to be sent to e-mail address number 2 and via webhook number 2.
Is it possible to configure this from Aruba Central?
Thanks in advance for your help
