Creating a Group Profile

Create a group profile so that you can associate an instance with a group when registering the instance with OS Management Hub.

Before you create a group profile, you must have already created a group.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Observability & Management. Under OS Management Hub, click Groups.
    2. Under List scope, select the compartment that contains the group you're interested in.
    3. Click the name of the group.
    4. On the group details page, click Create profile.
    5. Enter the profile details:
      • Name: Enter a name for the profile. You can add or change the name later. The name doesn't need to be unique, because an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) uniquely identifies the profile. Avoid entering confidential information.
      • Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the profile. Avoid entering confidential information.

      • For on-premises or third-party cloud, specify the management station:

        • Management station compartment: Select the compartment that contains the management station.
        • Management station: Select the management station to associate with the profile. This only applies to on-premises or third-party cloud instances. The management station provides the instance access to software sources.

      • Show advanced options: Click to add tags to this resource.

        If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, ask an administrator or skip this option. You can apply tags later.

    6. Click Create.

  • Use the oci os-management-hub profile create-group-profile command and required parameters to create a profile for a group.

    oci os-management-hub profile create-group-profile --compartment-id ocid --display-name profile-name --group-id ocid [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

  • Run the CreateProfile operation to create a profile for a group.
