Using Sophos Central Groups

Is there any easy way to add a range of endpoints to a group?

If I go to Endpoint Protection/Computers and select a range of devices (like based on version of operation system or status) there is no option to add them to a group.

Where as in Groups there is very limited options to choose devices to add them.

All I want is to add a range of Win 7 devices with medium or bad status to a group.

thanks

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum.

If you would like to automatically move devices to groups based on the device's health, this may be possible by using Sophos Central API's. The /endpoint-groups post function allows you to move devices into groups, and the /endpoints get function will allow you to query the status of devices.

Could you elaborate on what you're looking to do with this? Would Heartbeat be an alternative?

Thankyou Kushal, I'll look into using the API.

I thought it would be easier to group endpoints in bulk depending on certain criteria more than it currently is, especially considering some users have thousands of devices, like we do.

I don't know if I'm wanting to use groups in a way its not designed, but I would like to quickly select and group certain endpoints (depending on a number of different status) that I can then query with Live Discover, and keep a close check on all in one group or similar.
