7.4.2 Monitoring groups in a business group

You can further group the hosts in a business group from the viewpoint of monitoring the business system. Such groups are called monitoring groups. You can also make monitoring groups in multiple tiers. A monitoring group always belongs to a business group or an upper-level monitoring group.

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

In this example, the business groups Sales system and Accounting system are divided into monitoring groups Web server and Business server, grouped based on the functions of the hosts.

Administrators for each business system can use the business group as a monitoring tree. Also, by specifying a monitoring group in a business group, like Business server in Accounting system, an administrator can easily operate and setup a part of the monitoring group.
