Create a Host Group

You can add a host group to a selected environment and then select the agent. Or, you can configure a host group on an agent and then select the environment. The combination of the agent name and the host group name must be unique within an environment.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Configuration tab.
2. Select the environment to configure, and then click Lock.
3. To add a host group to a selected environment, follow these steps:
   1. Right-click the locked environment, and then select Add Host Group.

      The Add Host Group: environment appears.

   2. Enter the host group name.
   3. Select a displayed agent, and then click Add.
4. To add a host group to a selected agent, follow these steps:
   1. Expand the Agents node.
   2. Right-click the desired agent, select Configure Host Group at, and select the desired environment.

      The Add Agent Host Group dialog appears.

   3. Enter the host group name in the Host Group Name field and click OK.

      If you enter the name of an existing host group, the selected agent is mapped to that existing host group.

5. View the host group name as follows:
   • Expand the All Host Groups node for the environment where you created the host group.
   • Expand Agents and select the agent with the host group. The new host group is listed on the Associated Touchpoints and Host Groups tab with the domain hierarchy path.
