Linking Cloud Proxy with a Collector Group
When you create collector groups in your cloud environment, you have the option to include one or more cloud proxies in the Collector Group.
Note: It is recommended that you do not add a cloud proxy to a collector group that has remote collectors. For cloud proxy, a separate cloud proxies group can be created which contains only cloud proxies.
From the Add New Collector Group page, select one or more cloud proxies you want to link with the collector group and click Save. The selected cloud proxies are now part of the collector group.
