Custom Object Groups
Workspace to Create a New Group
You can create a new object group,
define custom properties, assign a group type and objects to the group. When you create the
group, you can assign a policy, or leave the policy selection blank to apply the default
policy.
VMware Aria Operations
collects data from the objects in the group based on the settings in
the policy that is associated with the group. The results appear in the dashboards and
views. Where You Assign Custom Group Type,
Policy, and Membership
To assign the group type, policy, and
membership, click
Environment
, click Custom Groups
, and
click Add
to add a new group. In the New Group workspace, you
can define the membership criteria, and select the objects to include or exclude. 정책을 사용자 지정 개체 그룹과 연결하려면 그룹 생성 마법사에서 정책을 선택합니다. 특정 정책을 개체 그룹과 연결하지 않으려면 정책 선택을 비워 둡니다. 사용자 지정 개체 그룹은 기본 정책과 연결됩니다. 기본 정책이 변경될 경우 이 개체 그룹은 새로운 기본 정책과 연결됩니다.
