Groups

You can organize your data into groups. A collapsible pane on the left displays the dashboard groups in a folder-like structure. Groups are available in the following Advanced Features:

Advanced aggregation
Advanced dashboards
Bloks
Data models
Enrichment lists

For more information about these features, see Advanced Features.

Shared and Nested Groups

To further organize artifacts, you can create nested groups. When you create a group, by default the Shared option is enabled. Setting a group as shared makes it available in other Advanced Features and you can store artifacts relevant to that functionality in the shared group. A group with its Shared option disabled is not available in other Advanced Features.

If a parent group is shared, then that group, along with the nested groups that are shared, are available in other Advanced Features. The nested groups with Shared disabled are not available in other Advanced Features.
If a parent group is not shared, then that parent group and all of its nested groups are not shared.
The Shared option of a group cannot be changed later.
Shared groups are indicated by the icon and groups that are not shared are indicated by the icon .

Note: By enabling the Shared option, only the groups are available in other Advanced Features; the artifacts stored in the groups are not available in other features. For example, the User group in the Data Models feature stores data models, but in the Bloks feature stores Bloks.

Built-in Groups

The following built-in groups are available:

Note: User-created artifacts cannot be stored in built-in groups.

Group Name	Contents of the group	Shared? Yes/ No
System	Artifacts created by the system	Yes
User	New artifacts created by users (non-system users) in LogLogic LMI 6.4.0 Artifacts created by users in previous LogLogic LMI versions and that are not associated with any group	Yes
LSP	Artifacts related to LogLogic LSP	Yes
Distributed	Distributed aggregation rules that are created on a Management Station. On a Remote Appliance, you can see the aggregation rules created on the Management Station in the Distributed group. Note: You cannot create a new rule or group in the Distributed group.	Yes
ComplianceSuites	Artifacts related to TIBCO LogLogic® Compliance Suite	Yes
Rules > Aggregation > All Rules	All aggregation rules	No
Advanced dashboards > All Dashboards	All dashboards	No
Bloks > All Bloks	All Bloks	No
Data models > All Data Models	All data models	No
Enrichment lists > All Enrichment Lists	All enrichment lists	No

After Upgrading to LogLogic LMI 6.4.0

In versions 6.3.x, groups were available only in the Advanced Dashboards. In other Advanced Features (Bloks, Data Models, Aggregation Rules, and Enrichment Lists), the corresponding artifacts were displayed on the main page of the feature.

After upgrading to LogLogic LMI 6.4.0, the artifacts from versions 6.3.x are stored in different groups, depending on whether the artifacts are built-in or how they are related to LogLogic LSP.

For details about these changes, see the Upgrade Considerations section in TIBCO LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence Configuration and Upgrade.

Managing Groups

You can create, delete, or rename a group from any of the Advanced Features where the group is available.
