Monitor Groups

Monitor groups are a way of organizing checks into manageable groupings or thematic units.

Monitoring groups are used in the Dashboard to organize checks in separate display widgets and lists, and in the Manage view to structure checks for a better overview.

You can have as many groups as you like, and any check can be a member of any number of groups.

Top-Level Groups

The Top-Level Groups are the main organizing level. They can contain any number of Subgroups.

Subgroups

Subgroups provide a slightly more fine-grained organization and ar placed inside Top-Level Groups.

Subgroups are at the lowest level and cannot contain other subgroups.

Access

Users can have access to monitor groups either as either a co-owner or as a user (non-co-owner).
