Aggregate Resource Definition

Views contain both real and aggregate resources (nodes and links), which are graphically represented as icons (or shapes) and lines. The icons or shapes for aggregate nodes have plus signs (+) in the lower right corner. The lines for aggregate links have plus signs (+) in the center of the link.

An aggregate resource represents a collection of real or aggregate resources, or both. The status of an aggregate is a reflection of the status of its underlying real resources.

You can set the thresholds at which an aggregate resource changes status by selecting it in a view, clicking the right mouse button to obtain the context menus, then opening the Resource Properties notebook to the Aggregation page.
