IPAM can use logical groupings of servers for configuration, monitoring, and management. This is useful for managing a group of servers that are located at a remote site or have some other common criteria for management and monitoring in IPAM. Server groups are configured within the Monitor and Manage section of IPAM.
Within server groups in IPAM, you add a server group with the Add Server Group dialog box, shown in Figure 2-18.
FIGURE 2-18 Adding a server group in IPAM.
As you see within Figure 2-18, you can also group servers by several criteria, as shown in Figure 2-19.
FIGURE 2-19 Criteria available for ordering the server group in IPAM.
Multi-filtering is available, such that you can choose to first group by one criterion and then additional criteria as needed to create a group with the necessary specificity.
After a server group is created, it can be found within the Server Groups section in the IPAM management console. Like other areas, server groups can be searched and their display order can be changed to locate the server group to be managed.
