What are the major differences between Monitor Groups and Tags

Monitor Groups

 

A Monitor Group helps in logically grouping resources, and provides a business perspective of the resources. It can be used for:

• 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

 

By using Tags to label your monitors, you can ensure better organization of monitoring resources and better searchability. Tags can be used to:

• 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.
  

• Associate third-party integrations to resources with specific Tags.
  

• Be used for filtering resources in Reports, Scheduled Reports, and Public Reports.
