Device Zones¶
Device Zones is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing device zones within the Device Catalog. Grouping specific devices into a particular zone can be used for organization or for polling purposes. This provides scoping for discovery and pro-active polling, ensuring that devices within a zone are accessed by monitoring components in that zone. Multiple devices with the same IP address must be in separate zones for proper polling.
Note
-
Device Zones are mutually exclusive groupings of Devices. Devices can only belong to one Device Zone.
-
Device Zones are commonly used for polling or active collection so that collectors and/or pollers can be distributed to various locations.
-
Devices can be moved to a different zone one device at a time using the Devices UI, or multiple devices at a time using the Device Management UI and selecting the "Move Device to Zone" action.
Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.
This user interface calls REST methods from api/device/zones.
The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Device Catalog -> Device Zones.
Form Fields¶
