Add, Edit, or Delete a Group

In the
Network Map
 page, you can group multiple entities together for the better management and visibility. In the
Network Map
 page, groups define a set of multiple entities. A group can also contain other groups. Groups are used to organize the entity list and to provide a context to the visualization in the network map. You can also use groups when searching for entities and paths.
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
 automatically creates some types of groups. For example, the system groups virtual entities inside the same physical host. You can also add your own groups, delete groups, and edit existing groups.
You cannot edit or delete system-generated groups.

      • You can select entities using device name, groups, IP address, IP range or subnet, and custom search.
      • You can use combination of these options to find entities.
      • You can also select entities in the

      • The custom search enables you to find entities using SQL like queries.
      • If you use the IP range/subnet or custom search to create a group, the group can change size dynamically. This happens because, based on your search criteria, devices get added or removed automatically to the group when any data sources get added or removed in
