Automatic Group node
An Automatic Group is the term used for a number of hosts that are grouped according to observed network communications using the Automatic grouping feature. The sole purpose of an Automatic Group node is to build the visualizations that are part of the feature. Automatic Group nodes are only created or destroyed if the Enable Automatic Grouping setting is enabled on the Discovery Configuration page.
Automatic Group nodes are stored in the Conjecture partition.
