Sub-Grouping
Sub-Grouping
Was thinking that being able to create sub-groups would be an awesome
thing. I read another user's idea of creating dependencies. This
could play into that as well and it will help with organization as well.
For example, you can have a data center and then break it up into sub
groups or you could have a group that classifies a service and then sub
groups to the different things that make up that service.
Example:
sample.com Master Group
--+---------------
+ Databases Sub Group (db001, db002, db003, db004)
+ Web Hosts Sub Group (web001, web002)
+ Storage Sub Group (san01, san02, san03)
This will help with many things, for one it will help with being able to
create dependency relationships
Secondly it will help with reporting so you pull a report on the Master
Group and it will include all the relevant sub devices.
Thirdly it will help so that when releases are pushed out the entire
relational cluster can be worked on, for example, I am pushing a release
the databases that runs sample.com; I can simply put the Master Group
into suspend and that takes care of everything under it. Then when
I'm done I simply put the entire group back into active state.
