An event group is a collection of events that you want to monitor. Each event group displays as a separate chart in the Summary Chart view and as a separate button in the Priority view. Each event group has a name, description, and optional filters. Event groups and event group roles are configured by administrators in the Configuration view.
Event group filters contain the constraints for determining which events are included in an event group. Events included in an event group can be displayed in the Event Viewer. (Operators can choose which events of an event group to display in the Event Viewer with the Options > Filter Events pull-down menu command.) If an event meets all of the constraints specified by any single filter defined for an event group, the event is included in that event group.
Event group roles determine whether operators can modify events in an event group or simply view them.
Note: When event group properties are changed, any operator consoles currently active that are monitoring the changed event group must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
