All aggregate components that are manually added are automatically managed by the eG Enterprise system. If you want to temporarily exclude any of these aggregate components from your monitoring scope, or if you want to permanently delete an aggregate component from the eG Enterprise system, you can do so with the help of the Aggregate Components - Manage/Unmanage page. To access this page, click on the icon available in the Admin tab. Then, select the Manage/Unmanage/Delete option from the Aggregate sub-menu in the Infrastructure tile.

To manage/unmanage aggregate components using this page, do the following:

1. Select the Aggregate Component type for which component(s) need to be managed/unmanaged. By default, the Aggregate Component type list will contain all those aggregate component types with one/more managed and/or unmanaged aggregate components. In large environments, this list may be very long, making component-type selection painful! To contract this list so that a component-type can be easily selected from it, click on the Show managed aggregate component types only check box. This check box, when selected, condenses the Aggregate component type list, so that it displays only those component-types with at least one managed aggregate component. This way, all types with only ‘unmanaged aggregate components’ will be automatically excluded from the list.
2. Upon selecting an Aggregate Component type, all aggregate components of that type that are currently monitored by the eG Enterprise system will be listed in the Managed Components list box. Likewise, those aggregate components of the chosen type that are currently excluded from monitoring will be listed in the Unmanaged Components list box. You can even use the Search text box above each of these list boxes to search for those Managed Components and/or Unmanaged Components that have names that carry a specified search string.
3. To unmanage one/more aggregate components, select them from the Managed Components list and click the Unmanage () icon. An attempt to unmanage an aggregate component will be followed by a message box that explains the implications of the same.
4. Click the OK button to proceed with unmanaging the aggregate component.
5. Clicking the OK button will transfer the components chosen from the Managed Components list to the Unmanaged Components list.
6. Finally, click the Update button.
7. Similarly, to manage one/more aggregate components that were previously unmanaged, pick them from the Unmanaged Components list, click the Manage () icon, and then click the Update button.
8. If for some reason, you want to delete a managed/unmanaged aggregate component, then, select the component from the Managed Components or Unmanaged Components list box (depending upon where the component is listed) and click the Delete Components button corresponding to that list box. Then, click the Update button. If a managed component is being deleted, then a message box will appear informing the consequences of deletion. To go ahead with the deletion, click the Ok button in the message box. To quit deleting, click the Cancel button.
