The FortiAnalyzer admin can create a device group and add devices to the group to simplify logging device management. The device group is automatically listed as a filter in Log View, FortiView and Reports device dropdown box for selection.

To create a device group:
  1. Go to Device Manager.
  2. From the Device Group dropdown, click Create New Group.

    The Create New Device Group dialog opens.

  3. In the Group Name field, type a name to identify the group of devices.

    Description is optional.

  4. Click Add Member to view a list of devices.

  5. Select the check box for each device to add to the group, and click Add.

  6. Click OK.

    The device group is now available. You can right-click the device group to edit or delete it.

    Note

    You cannot edit or delete the default device groups, such as the All Logging Devices device group.

    This device group can now be used in Log View, FortiView, event handlers, and Reports. See examples below with DeviceGroup1 as the device group.
