Configuring Profile Groups

The devices can be grouped based on group name and rules for easy access and identification. Group names can be used in role mapping rules, resource policies, filtering etc.

1.Navigate to Profiler > Profiler Configuration > Profiler Groups.

2.Enter the Group Name and Rule. The rules contain device attributes and operators. Manually enter the rule or choose from the list that dynamically displays the probable combinations.

To create rules for all values including null, use the rule: category ="*" or category ="".

3.Select the approval mode to approve the devices added to the profile group. Auto-Approval is the default option.

•Auto-Approval: Automatically approves the devices.

•Manual-Approval: Administrator manually approves the devices.

•Time-Bound-Approval: Devices approved for a specific time period and time zone. Enter the start date, end date, and time zone.

4.Select the option to send email notifications to notify when new devices are added to the group.

•Choose Use emails from General Settings to send e-mails to address specified in General Settings or choose Custom and enter the e-mail addresses separated by semicolon.

5.Enter the Auth table Timeout in seconds that is used for Firewall Provisioning. By default, the Auth Table Timeout is set to 60 seconds.

6.Select the interval from the list to purge the older devices in the group automatically.

7.Click Save.

Updating the profile groups for existing devices may take time if a rule covers more devices. Navigating away from the page cancels the update for the existing devices. But, the group names are updated when the device receive updates during regular profiling.
