7.4.1 Overview of business groups

You can group multiple hosts by units such as business system. One host cannot belong to multiple business groups.

The following figure shows an example of monitoring systems by using business groups.

Figure 7‒25: Example of monitoring systems by using business groups

In this example, three business groups (Sales system, System common, and Accounting system) are defined. Business group System common can be commonly used from both Sales system and Accounting system.

For the administrator for the sales system, only the view and operating permissions for the business groups Sales system and System common are set. Therefore, the scope the administrator for the sales system can view and operate in is restricted to the monitoring targets within the Sales system and System common business groups. Similarly, the scope the administrator for the accounting system can view and operate in is restricted to the monitoring targets within the Accounting system and System common business groups.

By setting the view and operating permissions for all business groups to the system administrator for the entire systems, that administrator can monitor Sales system, System common, and Accounting system. For monitoring of System common, you can set only the view permission for System common for the administrators of the sales system and the accounting system.
