Groups are central concept to NMIS
- Every node is required to be assigned to a group
- Metrics are calculated per group
- Nodes may be viewed or listed per group
- Nodes may be exported per group
- Nodes may be deleted per group
Group membership is assigned at node creation time.
Notice the group section is comprised of two differnt input fields. The first one is a drop box con
taining all the currently configured groups. If the Node's group is not in this drop down box, we c
an enter a new group value in the text box below it.
If it'd desirable to not display a certain group we may invoke the 'Hide Groups' feature. This is a
vailable from the NMIS9 top menu bar by selecting System->System Configuration->Hide Groups.

The members of a hidden group will still be collected on, but they will not be visable via the GUI.
