Hi,

I would like to know how can I add a sensor (a WMI Process sensor, for example) for all devices that is already discovered within a group.

Thank you very much.

The easiest method would be to clone the sensor in case. See Copying Devices by Cloning or Using Device Templates. The information provided is also valid for individual sensors (not just devices).

Hi,

well, but it's possible to clone a sensor to only one device, isn't it? Is there a way to clone the sensor to more than one device or to one group (all devices within this group)?

Thank you

Cloning is only possible on a 1:1-basis, which is why we recommend to use a Device Template (as suggested in the linked article) if you want to "copy" one (or more sensors) to several devices in one go.

Does Device Template work for devices that is already created? If I'm not wrong, it will work (""copy" one (or more sensors) to several devices in one go") to devices that is not created yet, right? But I need to add a sensor to a group of devices thats is already created and is already being monitored.

Thank you very much.

The Auto-Discovery and the Device Templates can be used with existing devices. You would configure the settings appropriately (choose the template for the Auto-Discovery in the Groups settings or on the individual devices) and then run the Auto-Discovery.
