Creating a monitoring group

Use Lumen® Edge Service Manager to create a monitoring group to organize and group your checks. This enables you to quickly access the status of the checks included in each group. You can view a list of your current monitoring groups, make edits to an existing monitoring group, and view details for each specific monitoring group created for your organization. You can mute and unmute a monitoring group to change its affect on open incidents, and delete a monitoring group if you no longer need it.

To create a monitoring group:

  1. Click Monitoring, then click Groups.

    The Edge Service Manager shows the monitoring groups created for your organization.
