Abstract
Methods of managing distributed analytics on device groups are described. In an embodiment, a management service within a distributed analytics system provides an interface to allow a user to define a group of devices based on a property of the devices. When the property of a device in the system satisfies the criterion specified by the user, the device is added to the group and the device may subsequently be removed from the group if the device no longer satisfies the criterion. Once a group has been defined, the management service enables users to specify management operations, such as creating, starting, stopping or deleting queries or management operations relating to other entities of end devices, which are to be implemented on all the devices in the group and the management service propagates the operation to all devices in the group, irrespective of their current connectivity status.
