This page appears upon selecting the Group Policies option from the Maintenance Periods sub-menu of the Configure menu, and allows creation, modification, and deletion of policy groups.

To group policies, do the following:

1. Specify the name of the new group in the Enter group name text box.
2. From the list of existing policies available in the DISSOCIATED POLICIES list box, select the policies that are to be grouped as one.
3. Then, click on the Associate >> button to add the selection to the ASSOCIATED POLICIES list.
4. To remove an entry from the ASSOCIATED POLICIES list, select it from the list, and click on the << Disassociate button.
5. Finally, click on the Create button.
6. All the groups that pre-exist and the newly created groups will appear at the bottom of this page. To run a quick search across groups to locate a particular group, use the Search option in this page. Specify the whole/part of the group name to search for in the Search text box and click the right-arrow button next to it. All groups with names that embed the specified search string will then be listed.

Note:

eG Enterprise provides a group named default, which will be, by default, associated with all the monitored hosts/components in the target environment. This group will be initially "empty", and will be listed at the bottom of this page.

To modify an existing group, do the following:

1. Click on the Modify button against the group to be modified.
2. The policies that belong to the chosen group will appear in the ASSOCIATED POLICIES list. Policies that do not belong to the chosen group will be available in the DISSOCIATED POLICIES list.
3. To add more policies to the chosen group, select them from the DISSOCIATED POLICIES list, and click on the Associate >> button. This will transfer the selection to the ASSOCIATED POLICIES list.
4. To remove an entry from the ASSOCIATED POLICIES list, select it from the list, and click on the << Disassociate button.
5. Finally, click on the Create button.

Note:

Using the Modify button against the default group, administrators can add new policies into the group. Such policies will be automatically applied to all the monitored hosts/components in the environment.

To delete an existing group, do the following:

1. Click on the Delete button against the group to be deleted.
2. eG will then request your confirmation to proceed with the deletion. Click the OK button in the message box to confirm deletion. Otherwise, click on the Cancel button.

Note:

eG Enterprise does not permit administrators to delete the default group.
