For management purposes, we recommend keeping the total number of jobs as low as possible. Using folder filters, you can reduce the total number of jobs without sacrificing efficiency. This process involves analyzing all existing jobs, identifying all the folders and hosts that will be collaborating, and consolidating them into fewer jobs by watching a few root folders at a higher level. Filters will then be added to include or exclude only the folders of interest.
When defining a filter pattern to use on folders, use the following syntax:
\Folder or \Folder* or \Folder\*
Presently, Peer Management Center supports included expressions for a full folder path only and does not support wildcard matching on parent paths. For example, the following expression is not valid:
\Folder*\Folder
