Assigning Tags to Monitor

Assigning tags can be done during the device discovery process or by navigating to monitor settings for the devices already discovered. Additionally, when a specific instance of a monitor requires individual tagging, the platform allows users to drill down and assign tags directly at the instance level.

Tags can be assigned to the Monitors in following ways:

  • Assigning Tags during Device Discovery
  • Assigning Tags to devices that are already provisioned as Monitors in the Monitor Settings
