Managing Groups and Dependencies
Creating Groups
Creating a group is a straightforward process of selecting the Orion objects you want
the group to contain. At creation time, you can also decide how you want SolarWinds
to roll up the status of the group members.
It is also possible to specify group members on the basis of shared properties by
adding them with a dynamic query. Orion Platform objects added through dynamic
queries are automatically added or removed from the group.
To create a new group:
1. Click Start > All Programs > SolarWinds > Orion Web Console.
2. Click Settings in the top right of the web console.
3. Click Manage Groups in the Node & Group Management grouping of the Orion
Website Administration page.
4. Click Add New Group.
5. Enter a name for the group in the Name field, and then expand Advanced.
6. If you want the group to roll up the worst status of the group members,
select Show Worst Status.
7. If you want the group to roll up the best status of the group members,
select Show Best Status.
8. If you want the group to display a warning status if the group members
have a mixture of different statuses, select Mixed Status shows warning.
9. Click Next.
10.
If you want to individually select group members, follow these steps:
a. In the Show Only list, select the type of Orion Platform object you want
to add as a group member.
b. Check the checkbox of the Orion Platform object and then click Add to
Group.
