How Managed Elements Are Assigned to Groups

When a Domain Manager performs discovery, it automatically assigns each managed element to a group based on:

•Matching criteria defined for the group

•Priority of the group, which determines membership when an element meets the matching criteria for more than one group

A managed element can be a member of one and only one polling group and a member of one and only one threshold group.

Modifying the Properties of a Group

A group is composed of settings and members. A setting includes one or more parameters. The matching criteria specified for the group and the group’s priority determine which managed elements are members of the group.

When a group is selected in the left panel of the Polling and Thresholds

Console, four tabs are displayed:

•Settings

•Priorities

•Matching Criteria

•Description

Modifying the properties under each of these tabs changes the configuration of the group. When you finish editing the properties of a group, click the Apply button to save the changes and then select Reconfigure from the Group menu to make the configuration changes take effect.
