66 Getting started Deploying node clusters Monitoring groups within a cluster The Network Security console provides a way to subdivide a cluster into different monitoring groups. You can then configure the Network Security console to display only the incidents of selected monitoring groups. In this way, you can manage the delegation of responsibilities in a large installation where each operator is responsible for only a subset of software or appliance nodes. This increases performance as well, because it reduces the number of incidents that a single Network Security console must load. When subdivided by monitoring groups, Symantec Network Security continues to perform cross-node correlation across all nodes in the cluster, even though the Network Security console displays incidents only from the subset. This section includes the following topics: ■ Creating a monitoring group ■ Assigning a monitoring group ■ Renaming a monitoring group ■ Choosing monitoring groups ■ Deleting a monitoring group Creating a monitoring group By default, one monitoring group exists upon installation. You can create additional monitoring groups via the Network Security console. When you add a software or appliance node to the topology tree, the node is assigned a monitoring group either by default, or by your selection. After groups are established, you can activate one or more monitoring groups in the Network Security console. Note: SuperUsers can add, assign, and rename monitoring groups; Administrators, StandardUsers, and RestrictedUsers can choose them. See "User groups reference" on page 319 for more about permissions. To add a new monitoring group 1 In the Network Security console, on the Devices tab, right-click any software or appliance node. 2 Click Edit. 3 In the Monitoring Group field, enter a new name into the list by writing over the Default name.
