13.7 Associating Tags with Objects

You can associate tags with event sources, event source servers, Collector Managers, Collector Plug-ins, event routing rules, and reports and report templates. You can add more than one tag to a data collection object. However, the rv145 field, which stores the tag value, can hold a maximum of 256 characters. Therefore, the maximum number of tags that you can associate with an object depends on the length of the tag name.
