Adding and Removing Host Groups (CTPView)
CTPView software enables you to create host groups. Subsequently you assign one or more CTP platforms to each host group. The host groups enable easier connection and monitoring of CTP platforms, especially as your network becomes large and complex. Host groups are displayed at the top of the CTPView side pane. There you can choose a group and then connect to a host that is a member of that group.
Host groups and names are often configured based on geography or application type. If you do not define a group, then the CTP platforms are placed in the default group.
To add a host group:
- In the side pane, select Server > Administration.
The Administrative Functions pane is displayed.
- Enter a unique name for the host group.
Group names can include from 3 to 20 characters consisting of letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores.
- Click Add New Group.
To remove a host group:
Removing a host group automatically deletes all host that are members of that group. If that is not your intention, move those hosts to another group before you perform the following steps.
- In the side pane, select Server > Administration.
The Administrative Functions pane is displayed.
- Click the Remove Host Group field and select the group.
- Click Remove Group.
