2.6 Node groups and interface groups
For node and interface groups, you can set a filter to narrow the information to be displayed in a view. For example, if the node group Important Cisco router is set and used as a filter, you can display only the applicable routers in the view.
Node groups can be used for any or all of the following purposes:
-
Monitoring settings
-
Incident payload filtering
-
Table filtering
-
Customizing map views
-
Filtering the nodes passed from a regional manager to the global manager for the global network management feature
Interface groups can be used for any or all of the following purposes:
-
Excluding interfaces from discovery
-
Monitoring settings
-
Incident payload filtering
-
Table filtering
You can create a hierarchy of node groups based on any filterable attributes to control map view drill-down, monitoring, or both settings' inheritance.
