Adding device groups

Once created, custom device groups can be selected in device filters for FortiView and Log View, and they can also be used in event handlers and reports.

To create a custom device group:
  1. Go to Device Manager.
  2. From the Device Group dropdown in the toolbar, 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 the list of devices and existing device groups.
  5. Select the check box for each device to add to the group, and click Add.

    FortiAnalyzer allows nested device groups. For example, you can create Device Group A and add it under Device Group B.

  6. Click OK.

    The device group is now available in Device Manager.
