19.1 Understanding Asset Groups

An Asset Group is a set of assets or devices that you want to associate with one another. Each Asset Group can contain assets, another Asset Group, or a combination of assets and an Asset Group.

Following are the different types of Asset Groups:

  • All Assets: All assets added or imported to Agent Manager.

  • Approved Assets: Assets to which Agent Manager successfully deployed Change Guardian Agent. You do not need to authenticate multiple times for any ‘Install or Upgrade Agents' activity. If the Client Agent Manager service cannot communicate with the Agent Management Service, the asset will move to the “Assets that have not communicated” group.

  • Assets that have not communicated: Asset from the “Approved asset” group that cannot communicate with Agent Management Service. To move such assets to “Approved asset” group, check if the Client Agent Manager service is communicating with Agent Management Service.

  • Assets not in any group: Assets that are not part of user-defined group where Agent Manager installed the agent. To categorize the assets from this group to any user defined group, select the asset, go to Manage Asset > Move Assets to a Group and select the required group.

  • User defined groups: A list of user defined groups and the categories. To organize and manage assets, you can create your own asset groups under 'User defined groups' section and copy assets from 'Approved Assets' group to user-defined group.
