What is a group?
A group is a logical collection of devices that can be used to do the following:
• Perform targeted collection for a subset of devices
• Configure polling
• Configure alerts
• Focus on certain devices in the Device Manager
• Focus on certain devices in some NetIM reports that support groups
• View group-based connectivity
A group can be composed of both individual devices and subgroups.
NetIM supports two types of user-defined groups:
• Devices—A group of devices. A device can belong to multiple groups.
• Sites—A group of devices that belong to a site. A site generally contains devices that are co-located.
