Hi All.

Are there any who have have success with having a Dynamic Device group added to an User initiated Action?

Our setup requires that we have auto discovery on new servers as we enroll up to 10 new servers pr week.
So they all need to be added automatic to safe time.

But I have 1 action that with Device Group cant be found under tools. Only If I select specific devices.

      What type of device group are you using?

       

      I believe that only static ones will work, and not dynamic ones.

        I only have dynamic groups. As the design SL came up with in the implementation came out with that.

        The issue is that we wanted an automated process for adding and removing devices from our groups. So when its discovered. It would add the monitoring.

        Now that flow bite my butt. As Dynamic grouping cant be used in some flows.

        So Ideas how to work with that.? Another rule that takes the dynamic group and add them to a static one. And run every 24 hours.?

          Can’t you use the API from the source to automate this?

            There is no API. 

            We are talking about virtual machines that needs to be into groups.
            And Dynamic groups makes sense to add them.

            But for Action started manually for only specific devices - Could also have been the same dynamic group. But SL don't allow that for actions.

            So either I have to find a way to move devices on/off the static group from the dynamic group
