Thanks, Brandon From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Jensen Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 5:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [zenoss-users] Groups, Systems, Locations Hi ZenBird, The answer is...how ever you want to use them. Free form containers for devices is one of the unique features or Zenoss. You define Systems (or subsystems), Groups (or subgroups), or Locations in a way that works best for you. The one difference is Systems display on the main dashboard in ver 1.1.x and in the upcoming 2.0 version, you can choose which of the containers is displayed on the main dashboard. So you use the S, G, L links in the navigator to define your containers or sub-containers, then on the edit tab for a device, you can select a location or multi-select systems or groups. The theory being that if you have an email system that includes lan gear and servers, your data warehouse system may also contain some of the same devices. Then based on userid, you can decide which systems show up on the dashboard. This is a way to do a targeted view of events. Hope this helps. -BobJ On 5/21/07, ZenBird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All, I have a small bunch of questions on "Groups,Systems and Locations". Q1: how do you use the "Groups", "Systems" and "Locations" menu entries ? For what usage are these categories intended for ? Q2: What's the differences between them ? Q3: Where do I configure them ?
