Managing Device Groups

Overview

In Device Groups, you can organize your devices into groups to represent a logical grouping of your devices, such as grouping devices by network segment or security level.

When you select a group, the charts and tables show the data for the members of the group.

The options in the menu change according to which objects are selected in the tree. If you select more than one type of object, the menu is disabled.
