Creating host groups

Use any of the following approaches to create a host group:

  • Create a host group from a table – When you run a report that displays a table with columns for host names or host IP addresses, you can use the hosts in the table to create a new host group, redefine an existing host group, or replace an existing host group.  more

  • Import a text file – You can identify the members of a group in a text file and then import the file to NetProfiler as a group definition.  more

  • Manually define a group – You can use an edit box to enter a list of hosts that define a host group.  more

The number of host groups defined for the host group type used in service monitoring (by default the ByLocation host group type) is limited to 1800. However, you can define thousands of host groups of other host group types.
