Defining Server Groups

You can define Server Groups based on the different monitoring requirements. You can create different Server Groups based on Customers, Locations, units, purpose, criticality, and so on. This grouping of Servers helps to derive the required data from the common or similar set of Servers. You can also modify and delete Server Groups.

To define Server Groups:

  1. Select Operations > User > Servers > Group List.
  2. On the GROUP LIST page, click ADD NEW on the ACTIONS panel. The ADD GROUP page is displayed.
