Chapter 12: Managing Groups and
Dependencies
Dependencies and groups enable you to more effectively manage your network.
Groups give you the ability to logically organize monitored objects, regardless of
device type or location, and dependencies allow you to more faithfully represent
what can actually be known about your network, eliminating "false positive" alert
triggers and providing more accurate insight into the state of your network.

Managing Groups

Groups contain Orion objects that report a status such as nodes, volumes,
applications, interfaces, and even other groups. You create, delete, and modify
groups from the Manage Groups page.
Note: Nesting a group within another does not create a strict parent/child
relationship. You can include any group as a member in any number of other
groups.
To access the Manage Groups page:
1. Log on to the Orion Web Console.
2. Click Settings in the top right of the web console.
3. Click Manage Groups in the Node and Group Management grouping of
the Orion Website Administration page.
