Devices : Configuring device groups
 
Configuring device groups
When you have multiple devices belonging to a department or section of your organization, you may want to create device groups to simplify log browsing or report configuration.
A device can belong to multiple groups; however, the device cannot be deleted from the device list until it is removed from all groups.
To view device groups, go to Devices > Group > Device Group.

Select the device group type to display, such as FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiMail or syslog groups.

Members
The names of devices that belong to the device group.
To configure a device group:
1. Go to Devices > Group > Device Group.
The create new group window opens.
Figure 127: Create new group
2. Configure the following settings:
Group Name
Enter a name for the device group.
Group Type
Select the device group type that you want to create. You can choose FortiGate Group, FortiMail Group, FortiManager Group, FortiWeb Group, and Syslog Group. When you select a group type, the devices that are available to that group appear in the Available Devices field.
FortiClient installations are treated as a single device, and so cannot be configured as a device group.
Available Devices
The available devices for the group type you select in Group Type. Select a device and then use the right arrow to move it to the Members field.
Members
The devices that are available in the group you are creating. If you want to remove a device from the Members field, select the device and then select the left arrow to remove it.
3. Select OK.
