1.5.6 Displaying monitoring agents on the monitoring console (Windows)
Create a folder in the Agents tree on the monitoring console and place monitoring agents in that folder. If you create a folder for each unit of operation monitoring, you can display target monitoring agents by folder, facilitating smooth application of your day-to-day monitoring operation. For example, if you create a separate folder for each group, the groups and servers handled by the individual monitoring agents can be identified at a glance.

Log in to Performance Management from the monitoring console.
-
Verify that the Agents tab is selected in the Main window.
If any other tab is selected, select the Agents tab.

The display format is set to User Agents immediately after a login. If you change the display format to Products, the monitoring agents are displayed by type of agent product.
