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 cloud proxy to a collector group from 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 proxy accounts you want to link with the collector group and click Save. The selected cloud proxy accounts are now part of the collector group.
