Filtering monitors in the Home tab - Monitor Status Page.
Filtering monitors in Configuration Rules and Bulk Action.
Visualizing your infrastructure in Business View.
Restricting access to resources for non-admin users.
Filtering monitors for various features such as Scheduled Maintenance, Mute Alerts, etc.
Filtering resources in Reports, Scheduled Reports, and Public Reports.
Grouping resources hierarchically by creating subgroups, which can better organize resources.
Controlling the alerts of dependent monitors.
Tags

Filter any set of monitors dynamically in the Home tab - Monitor Status Page, Configuration Rules, and Bulk Action.
Aid in the discovery of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) monitors.
