Collector associations
This tab displays the list of all collectors and the system groups assigned to each one. Use it to assign groups to a collector — this is the starting point for activating monitoring on remote systems.
How it works
- Each row represents a collector.
- Clicking on a collector row (or the assignment icon) opens a side panel where you can add or remove group assignments.
- Once a group is assigned to a collector, the monitoring configuration for each system in that group is transferred to the collector within 30 seconds.
- Any subsequent change to the monitoring configuration is also automatically propagated within 30 seconds.
Filters
- Company — filter collectors by organisation
- Group — filter by a specific system group
- Text filter — free-text search across the table
