If is often necessary to select all group members for some kind of processing using a context mask. Here are some examples:
| • | Making an alert that applies to the group members |
| • | Executing a query to fetch some data from group member contexts |
| • | Configuring an event filter to show only events that was generated by Devices participating in a certain group |
To construct a mask that will match all group members, take group's context path and append a wildcard section (".*") in the end, e.g.: users.admin.alerts_groups.snmpAlerts.*
|
Example: If default administrator owns a device group called environment that includes all datacenter environment monitoring devices, use the following mask to match all group member Devices: users.admin.devgroups.environment.* This mask will be resolved to the list of member devices, e.g.: users.admin.devices.temperature_sensor users.admin.devices.humidity_sensor users.ny_datacenter_operator.devices.smoke_sensor users.ny_datacenter_operator.devices.spill_detector |
