Follow the steps below to create a service group (also known as a set of template monitors).  Note that in most cases, a service group depends on you having already created monitors that can be used as master templates for the group.

  1. Click Services.
  2. Click Add Service Group in the left-hand menu.
  3. In the pop-up window, assign a name to the service group and click Continue.
  4. Using the available dropdown and selection lists, choose the service monitors that you want to act as the template masters for this group.
  5. Using the available dropdown and selection lists, choose the list of elements that you want to apply this service group to at creation time.
  6. Click Continue.

After your service group is created, you can edit the master monitors, add or remove monitors and add or remove elements under the View Service Groups link.
