Managing resource groups

Your monitored environment might have multiple managed resources that can be categorized by their purpose. Such resources often have the same threshold requirements. Use the Resource groups management page to organize managed resources into groups that you can assign thresholds to. You can assign thresholds to resource groups for monitoring the managed resources of the same type that belong to the group.

Procedure

Complete these steps to configure and manage resource groups:

  1. In the Cloud APM console, select Administration and, in the page that opens, click Resource groups.

    The Resource groups management page opens with a list of the configured resource groups. The tags are the resource types of the managed resources in the group.
  2. Take one of the following actions: Create incident policy.
    • To configure a new resource group, click Create group. The Create resource group page opens.
    • To edit a resource group, click the resource group name link. Alternatively, you can click Open and close list of options and select Edit. The Edit resource group page opens.
    • To make a copy of a resource group, click Open and close list of options and select Duplicate. A copy of the resource group is created, which you can now edit.
    • To delete a resource group, click Open and close list of options and select Delete. Confirm that you want to permanently delete the resource group when prompted.
  3. Configure the resource group:
    1. Enter a name that starts with a letter and has up to 63 letters, numbers, and underscores.
    2. Optional: Enter a description of the resource group. The description is useful, especially for other users, to understand the context of the group.
    3. In the Filters list, select a resource type to see the managed resources of that type.
    4. In the list that displays, click the plus (+) next to each manage resource that you want to add to the group or click the + for Add all resources of that type to the group.
      As you select resources, a pop-up window shows the managed resource name and resource type, and a counter keeps track of how many resources that are in the group.
    5. Continue to select resource types and add managed resources to add to the group.
    6. If you want to remove a resource from the group, click the Delete button next to it.
  4. When you are finished configuring the group, click Create or Save.
