Group 20-30 management zones into 1 management zone

divyangsinghal1 — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 16:04:32 GMT

The ask here is, we need to club 20-30 management zones into 1 management zone, to pull out data for the customer.

If this can be achieved in some way by creating a new master management zone where we can add the other 20-30 management zones.

Please suggest.

Regards,

Divyang

Hi,

Maybe you can base management zone logic base on tags. Entities can have more than one tag, it means, it can be tagged with "mz1" and "global-mz", same with "mz2"... Then, entities with "global-mz" would be entities in "mz1" and "mz2".

Best regards

You can also make one Management Zone that will contain rules that map components from other MZs. For this, I would use an API with which you take the configuration from the Management Zone and create a new "global" one based on it

Hi,

It means, I had just linked your product idea, I had not created a new one.
