Creating a managed system group

Organize managed systems into named groups that can be assigned to the distribution of situations, policies, historical collections, queries, and dynamic Navigator items in custom Navigator views.

1. Click Object group editor.
2. If Managed system is collapsed, expand it.
3. Click one of the available managed system types, then click Create new group. One of the managed system types is All Managed Systems. Select it if you want to combine multiple agent types (such as Windows OS and Oracle) in one managed system group.
4. Type a descriptive name for the managed system group and click OK. The new managed system group is displayed in the managed system folder.
5. Select a managed system from the Available Managed Systems list and move it to the Assigned list. You can select multiple managed systems by holding down Ctrl while clicking each managed system. You can also, after selecting a managed system, use Shift+click to select all managed systems between this and the first selection.
6. Save your changes and either keep the editor open with Apply or exit with OK. The managed system group is now available to all users who are signed on to the portal server that connects to this hub monitoring server.
   Note: Be sure that the managed systems added to the managed system group are at a supported version level. Otherwise, it is possible that after you distribute a situation to the managed system group and then attempt to start the situation, its status will show as Problem in the situation event console and message log views.
