Although you can manually apply policies to groups, it is not considered a best practice. Groups are designed for asset management purposes, and manually applying policies does not take advantage of automatic inclusion rules. It is recommended instead that you set up shared site groups, to which you can then apply a service plan. For more information, see Creating Shared Site Groups.
However, if you prefer to set up your monitoring manually using groups, you can follow the steps below to enable group-based monitoring.
For more information about the types of policies in Barracuda RMM, see Working with Policies and Services.
