You can create asset groups based on your business requirements and add assets of the same type to an asset group. This allows you to classify assets and manage multiple assets at a time.
Create an asset group
Log on to the Bastionhost console. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which your bastion host resides.
In the bastion host list, find the bastion host that you want to manage and click Manage.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Asset Group page, click Create Asset Group.
In the Create Asset Group panel, configure the Asset Group Name and Description parameters, and click Create.
The name of the asset group must be 1 to 128 characters in length and can contain letters, digits, periods (.), underscores (_), hyphens (-), backslashes (\), and spaces. The name cannot start with a special character.
NoteWe recommend that you specify the asset group name based on the services provided by the assets, the department to which the assets belong, or the region where the assets reside. This facilitates subsequent maintenance and identification.
Add assets to the asset group
After you create an asset group, add assets to the asset group. This way, you can manage all assets in the same asset group at a time. Before you add assets to the asset group, make sure that the assets are imported to the bastion host. For more information, see Add hosts or Use the database management feature.
