Device Groups

Device groups allow you to categorize named source IP addresses called devices. The Device Groups page lists all device groups with edit and delete icons and includes the ability to create new device groups.

Tip: You can associate Device groups with storage rules. Storage rules specify the storage groups in which events from specific sources are stored. Doing so enables you to retain event data from different sources for different lengths of times (because you can define different retention policies on different storage groups). For more information about storage rules, see Storage Rules.

Tip: There is no maximum number of device groups that can be created on Logger.

To create a device group:

  1. Open the Configuration > Data menu and click Device Groups.

  2. Click Add. A display similar to that shown next appears.

  3. Enter a name for the new device group. Click to select devices from the list. Press and hold the Ctrl key when clicking to add additional devices to the selection. To select a range of devices, click to select the first device, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking the last device.
