Agent Manager provides built‑in device groups for Windows network configurations and commonly used applications that Agent Manager monitors out‑of‑the‑box.
If you are creating custom data collection rules, the built‑in device groups might not contain the computers to which you want to deploy the custom data collection rules. You can create device groups that contain computers of your choice. You can identify the computers to place in the device group using membership criteria, such as explicit inclusion or computer attributes. For more information about device grouping criteria, see Understanding Device Group Membership Criteria.
