Monitor groups are available only in AlertSite UXM (modern interface). |
You can combine monitors into groups to view their availability and performance as a whole. Grouping allows you to:
-
Track your business-critical monitors as one logical entity.
-
See the average availability and performance across several monitors (for example, all monitors for a specific website, or all API monitors).
-
Compare the availability and performance of monitors inside a group.
-
Create a simpler and more high-level view in the Dashboard by filtering to show just the groups.
With grouping, you can still see data for each monitors individually, and can also see how they are doing overall. A monitor can be in more than one group, so you can arrange monitors in a way that is most relevant to you.
| Note: | Only Admin, Co-Admins and Power Users can create and edit monitor groups. |
Public and Private Groups
Groups can be public (shared) and private, which determines who can see them.
Public groups are shared with all users in your AlertSite account. Admin, Co-Admins and Power Users can also add or remove monitors in public groups. This is the default option for new groups.
Private groups are visible only to you (the logged-in user) and not other users.
