This topic describes how to view machine groups, view the servers in a machine group, modify a machine group, view the status of a machine group, apply Logtail configurations to a machine group, and delete a machine group in the Simple Log Service console.
Prerequisites
Machine groups are created. For more information, see Create an IP address-based machine group or Create a custom identifier-based machine group.

NoteAfter you create a machine group, wait for 2 minutes before you view the heartbeat status.
If the heartbeat status of a server in the machine group is
OK, Logtail that is installed on the server is connected to Simple Log Service.If the heartbeat status of a server is
FAIL, the connection between Logtail that is installed on the server and Simple Log Service fails. Follow the on-screen instructions to troubleshoot the issue. For more information, see How do I troubleshoot an error that is related to a Logtail machine group in a host environment? If the issue persists, submit a ticket.
