How Can I Organize The Way Devices Display In Big Iq So Theyre Easier To Find And

To more easily manage a large number of BIG-IP devices, you can organize them into groups. The types of groups you can use are:

  • Static groups
  • Dynamic groups

A static group contains specific devices that you add to it, and those devices stay in that group until you remove them. For example you might want to create a static group named, Seattle, and add all of the devices located in Seattle to it.

In contrast, a dynamic group is basically a saved query on a group. For example, if you created a static group that contained all of your managed devices located in Seattle and you wanted to view only those devices running a specific application, you could create a dynamic group with that filter. If one of the devices stops running the specified application, the device no longer appears in that dynamic group.

If you delete a managed BIG-IP device from the parent group, you see that change when you view the dynamic group.
