Add a Network Group

To add a network group:

  1. Click the Configuration > Network option in the left-navigation bar.
  2. Click the + (Add Network) button.
  3. Enter the necessary values in the text boxes and select the appropriate options for the network group.

    The following table describes the attributes in the Add a Network Group window:

    Table 1:
    Attributes Description

    Name

    Name of the network group. (Required)

    Description

    Description of the network group.

    Reports

    In the Reports field, select one or more health report profile names from the drop-down list to generate reports for the network group. Reports include alarm statistics, device health data, as well as device-specific information (such as hardware and software specifications).

    To edit or view details about saved health report profiles, go to the Ingest Settings page under the Administration menu in the left navigation bar. The report profiles are listed under Report Settings page (Report tab).

    For more information, see Configure Report Settings.

    Disable Trigger Action Scheduler (for a particular network group)

    By default, this field is marked False because the option to add a UDA scheduler in Trigger Action page is enabled.

    You can set this field to True if you want to disable UDA scheduler settings in Trigger Action page.

    Notifications

    • You can use the Alert page to organize, track, and manage KPI alarm notifications received from Paragon Insights devices.

    • To receive Paragon Insights alert notifications for KPI events that have occurred on your devices, you must first configure the notification delivery method for each KPI event severity level (Major, Minor, and Normal). Select the delivery method from the drop-down lists.

      To edit or view details about saved delivery method profiles, go to the Ingest Settings page under the Administration menu in the left navigation bar. The delivery method profiles are listed under Notification Settings (Notification tab).

    Ingest Frequency

    Select existing Ingest Frequency Profiles to override rule or sensor frequency settings.

    Logging Configuration

    You can collect different severity levels of logs for the running Paragon Insights services of a network group. Use these fields to configure which log levels to collect:

    Global Log Level

    From the drop-down list, select the level of the log messages that you want to collect for every running Paragon Insights service for the network group. The level is set to error by default.

    Log Level for specific services

    Select the log level from the drop-down list for any specific service that you want to configure differently from the Global Log Level setting. The log level that you select for a specific service takes precedence over the Global Log Level setting.

    Publish

    You can configure Paragon Insights to publish Paragon Insights sensor and field data for a specific network group:

    Destinations

    Select the publishing profiles that define the notification type requirements (such as authentication parameters) for publishing the data.

    To edit or view details about saved publishing profiles, go to the System page under the Settings menu in the left-nav bar. The publishing profiles are listed under Notification Settings.

    Field

    Select the Paragon Insights rule topic and rule name pairs that contain the field data you want to publish.

    Tagging

    Select one or more tagging profiles from the existing profiles list. Tagging makes use of profiles to set conditions, define new fields and keys, and insert values into those fields after creation. For more information, see Paragon Insights Tagging Overview.

    Root Cause Analysis

    Mode is enabled by default. Disable Mode if you do not want the device group to be a part of resource discovery and dependency process.

    Exclude Resources field allows you to select network resources that must be excluded from resource and dependency formation.

  4. Click Save to save the configuration or click Save and Deploy to save and deploy the configuration.
