Dashboard 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, however the web console dashboard will only ever show one Dashboard Group at a time.

For smaller setups only the default initial Dashboard Group is likely required, for larger installations these can be split up however desired, be it by business units, application tiers or geographic locations. Well structured grouping can also ease the management of Maintenance Periods and Notifications.

Dashboard Groups can be created through the web console, through the API or using Terraform.
