Contexts

Contexts are organizational units that provide full isolation between different environments, teams, or infrastructure segments.

Context Settings

Each context has its own configuration:

General

Monitoring

• Enable/Disable SNMP and ICMP monitoring
• SNMP poll interval — Frequency of SNMP metric collection (default: 60s)
• ICMP poll interval — Frequency of reachability checks (default: 60s)

Members

• Assign users to the context
• Users only see contexts they are members of (admins see all)

tip

Use contexts to mirror your organizational structure — one per site, team, or compliance scope.
