Job Groups Settings Node

A job group’s Settings node is where you can set custom configurations and assign host lists to a job group.

These settings inherit the global settings down by default unless you break inheritance at a job group or a job level.

• Connection Node – Use the default Connection Profile or break inheritance to select the Connection Profile needed for the assigned host lists for this job group

• History Node – Use the default history settings or break inheritance on data retention and log retention settings for this job group

• Host Lists Assignment – Use the default host list configured on a parent job group or break inheritance on assigned host lists for this job group

  note

  Host List Assignments isn't a global setting. The pre-configured solutions may contain Host List Assignments configured to use Global Default Host Lists, for example All Domain Controllers. See the Default Host Lists topic for additional information.

• Reporting Node – Use the default report settings or break inheritance on Published Report settings, Email settings, and Report role assignment for this job group

• Storage Node – Use the default storage profile or break inheritance on where this job group's data is stored

If you make changes, click Save to implement them. Changes aren't implemented unless you save them.

You should always confirm Host List Assignment and Connection before executing a job group or job when data collection is included. The assigned host lists contains the hosts that the job’s data collection queries target. The assigned Connection Profile must have the appropriate level of permissions for the data collection to succeed. See the Permissions by Data Collector (Matrix) topic for information on the recommended permissions needed on the targeted hosts to collect data.
