Check Groups

Checks in EndPoint Monitor are grouped in two tiers. The top level tier is Dashboard Groups. Dashboard Groups then contain Check Groups, with the Check Groups containing the Checks themselves. These groups are largely just organisational and don't have any impact of the running of checks themselves.

Check Groups are used to group checks under a Dashboard Group together in places like the web console dashboard and reports, and when configuring Notifications and Maintenance Periods.
