"Alarm Settings Tab?" I'm not sure Nagios has such a thing.

The easiest way to handle it in Nagios 3 would probably be to have a
service template set up that adds the SQL admins as a contact, and then
use something like "use sql_service" to include that template for any
services you want that group notified on (assuming there is a standard
set of notification recipients that also receive them.

An alternative would be to add that group to each service, as you
mentioned.

Neither of those has changed substantially since Nagios was first called
Nagios, as far as I know.
