Modify a monitored device

To make changes for a particular device, right-click the list entry for that device and choose one of the following options:

• Assign Role: Create a role for this device so that it can be represented in the device tree.

• Add Comment: Add a comment for this discovered device.

• Change IP Address: Change the IP address in every tag in this device’s tag list.

• Resolve IP: If the device is listed by its IP address but you would prefer to browse by a DNS host name, choose this action to attempt to resolve the host name.

• Refresh Percent Reporting Column: Refresh the tag list for this device. When you invoke this operation, the servers will again be mined for points, but only points monitoring this device will be refreshed. To refresh the entire tag list, press the Update Device List button.

• Show Points: Show the points for this device in the point list below.

• Show Bad Points: Show all digital-state points that have current values in the system digital state set.

• Synchronize Aliases to Points: Rebuild the alias structure for this monitored device

  Note: If you make any administrative changes that require changes to the tags (for example, you change the IP address or change SNMP values), you will need to have write permissions to that tag.
