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
