The default behavior is that a child group will automatically inherit the parent's existing Event Collector configuration. This is called "Allow Child Merge" and is automatically put upon any new child group as seen below.

If you want different behavior in a child group than its parent, then change Event Collector | Inheritance to "Allow Child Override" then specify the event collection scheme you want using the provided fields.

Note: If a single computer is a member of several groups with conflicting Event Collection settings, then the following rules apply:

• Event Submission Interval will be minimal of all group(s)… meaning the lowest number in "Event submission interval" between all groups will "win."
• Event Filters will be merged. For instance Computer1 in GROUP A has "Events 101-105, 108" and same Computer1 in Group B has "102-106, 110" the final result of event IDs to be uploaded is "101-106, 108, 110."
• If any group a computer is a member of has the Collect Events filter set to "All", then the previous rule doesn't apply. "All" always wins.
