Is there a way to "order" the server list in groups?

James Morehead Jan 28, 2009 11:06 AM

I have an "ALL" gorup and have created other groups as well. I was hoping that maybe there was a way to order the servers in each group as opposed to alphabetically? As an example.....is there a way to order server names in a CPU other then alpahbetically. I was thinking of creating a report that shows CPU overall avg for the day. Then was hoping to have them ordered based on most consumed to least>

The quick answer is no. But I've been told that you could customize the way the query was done inside of the perceive engine and it would be possible; but not supported.

Sorting the server list by resource usage requires major changes of the node discovery query. You must also consider the dependency to the interval discovery query.

There has been an interesting discussion in the forum years ago about dynamic group creation based on TopN resouce usage. Maybe this comes close to your request.
You can still find some results attached to the following threads:
Dynamic creation of groups for identifying exceptions
GroupMaker: Dynamic Creation of Groups - and other packages

You probably need to modify the given examples to work well with the current Perceiver release.

HTH,
