63.2.4 Configuring an Agent Group

Configuration settings for monitoring can be set individually for each monitored agent, for each
agent group, or for all monitored agents collectively. You can establish default configuration
settings for all agents by setting them on the root agent group that is named the same as your
GroupWise system. Those default settings can be inherited by each subgroup that you create
thereafter if you select Apply Options to Subgroups. Those default settings can be overridden by
establishing different settings for an agent group or for an individual agent if you deselect Use
Parent Options.
