Organize managed systems into named groups that can be
assigned to the distribution of situations, policies, historical collections,
queries, and dynamic Navigator items in custom Navigator
views.
About this task
Take these steps to create a managed system group:
Procedure
- Click Object group editor.
- If Managed system is collapsed, expand it.
- Click one of the available managed system types, then click Create
new group.
One
of the managed system types is
All Managed Systems.
Select it if you want to combine multiple agent types (such as Windows
OS and Oracle) in one managed system group.
- Type a descriptive name for the managed system group and
click OK.
The new managed system
group is displayed in the managed system folder.
- Select a managed system from the Available Managed Systems list
and move
it to the Assigned list.
You can
select multiple managed systems by holding down Ctrl while clicking
each managed system. You can also, after selecting a managed system,
use Shift+click to select all managed systems between this and the
first selection.
- Save your changes and either keep the editor open with Apply or
exit with OK.
The managed system
group is now available to all users who are signed on to the
portal server that connects to this hub
monitoring server.
Note: Be
sure that the managed systems added to the managed system group are
at a supported version level. Otherwise, it is possible that after
you distribute a situation to the managed system group and then attempt
to start the situation, its status will show as
Problem
in the situation event console and message log views.
What to do next
You can now assign the managed system group
to any object that has managed system assignments. Each of these locations
has a Edit Managed System Groups button for
convenient access to the Object group editor for managed system groups:
- Distribution tab of the History Collection
Configuration editor
- Distribution tab of the Situation editor
- Monitored resources tab of the Navigator
item properties
- Change Policy Distribution dialog box, which opens after
you select the Distributed check
box for a policy in the Workflows editor
- Query Results Source tab of the Query Editor
