Application groups are used to group together applications into a logical group. The application groups can be used to monitor the traffic or to create policy based on a category. For example, you can monitor and throttle streaming applications or you can monitor and protect business critical applications categorized as your ordering system that may include an inventory system and a point of sale system.
There are several predefined application groups, such as Mail, P2P, Voice, etc. You can edit existing application groups or create new ones.

Note A given application can exist in multiple application groups. However, monitored groups must not contain applications which are already a member of another group being monitored. Any given application can only be monitored within a single application group. |
