Platform Service - Can it be shared across multiple platforms as a group?

[loki74]

Hello,
Great product first of all. We are evaluating the product to see if it is a fit, so far so good!

We have a platform http service that an agent checks. Is there a way to get multiple platforms to check the same http service without having to create the same service over and over?

Example:
We have a DNS Service check on Platform A
We want to have platforms B-Z check the same DNS servers.

Thanks.

There is currently not a way to do what you want within the GUI.

However, there are two possibilities for accomplishing what you need:

1. The HQU GConsole (Groovy Console)

2. HQU Mass
