Custom Sources¶
A Custom Source is a dynamic group of agents and tags defined by a chosen set of conditions, like a shared property (tag or hostname). Using a Custom Source, you can create a dynamic list of similar agents and tags based on a set of conditions and simultaneously apply Lightrun Logs, Metrics, and Snapshots to the list.
You can create and manage Custom Sources directly from the Management Portal.
