How to manage Monitoring groups


The concept of monitoring groups allows for grouping of devices and quick overview of groups. Every group is mentioned on the Dashboard and provides own statistics breakdown. NOTE that both statitics and number of devices in a group is not updated in real-time thus if you add or remove devices to/from a group, it may take up to two minutes for the Dashboard to reflect that change.

The simplest use cases satisfied by monitoring groups:

  • Defining alerts for a group of devices or for a defined number of devices in that group
    • Alert me when temperature of at least one of the devices in a group rises above 50 degrees of Celsius
    • Alert me when at least three devices in a group misses 5 or more data contacts to DWARFG_LONG server
  • Gathering per-group statistics

Note the default monitoring group named All devices. This group always contains all of the devices connected to DWARFG_LONG. By referring to the All devices group, you can construct alert that triggers for any device:

  • Alert me when at least one device in mon. group All devices ...
If you have a device that you want to exclude from the alerts being monitored on the All devices monitoring group, you may assign a nogenalerts system label to that device.

Also note that a device can be part of multiple monitoring groups.
