Types of collections
•
By member
When you create a collection, you can select exactly which specific systems or collections
you want to include. From the, Customize Collections page, click New. The New Collection
section appears. Select Choose members individually.
NOTE:
When you create event collections, you cannot select individual events. However,
you can select event collections, which enables you to create a convenient hierarchy.
•
By attribute
When you create a collection, you can describe the contents of the collection by the attributes
of its members. Collections defined by attributes are dynamic because each time they are
invoked, the contents are determined again.
You can use many system attributes for creating collections, for example, system name (full
or partial), operating system, or system type. For event collections, some of the attributes you
can select are
, type, severity, and time. You can combine multiple attributes to
create the exact group of systems or events that you need.
To create collections by attribute, click Save As Collection from the Advanced Search page or
click New from the Customize Collections page. Then, in the New Collection section, select
Choose members by attributes. Select the attributes and click Save As Collection
