How do I delete a device?
Through the Manage Devices interface in the Administration Tool.
How do I rename or re-IP a device?
Through the Manage Devices interface in the Administration Tool.
What happens when I Retire a device?
When a device is retired, it is no longer polled, no new data will be collected, but all historical data for that device is maintained. Retired devices are tagged with a tilde (~) in front of their name and can be found at the bottom of the Device Filter list
Action | Details |
Rename the device |
|
Stop polling | Ping and SNMP polling are set to off |
Stop Mac/IP and inventory data collection | Inventory reporting and discovery will be disabled for the device |
Regroup the device |
|
Filter status reports | The device will not appear in any current device status reports |
Edit Hosts File | If the device appeared in the Hosts File, remove it |
Edit SNMP Conf | If the device appeared in the SNMP Conf file, remove it |
How do I make a device active again after deleting or retiring?
Unfortunately, there is no way to undelete or unretire a device and retain its historical data. A new device with the same name and IP can be discovered to replace the deleted one, but it will only have data from the time of discovery onward.
If you want to replace a retired device, you will need to delete the device and then rediscover the device. Again, data will only exist from the time of discovery onward.
How do I change the device details?
Through the Manage Devices interface in the Administration Tool.
How do I turn Ping or SNMP Polling off for a device?
Through the Manage Devices interface in the Administration Tool.
How do I change the interface details?
Through the Manage Devices interface in the Administration Tool.
How do I manually configure speed on an interface?
Associated with each interface are several speeds, these appear in the Interface Detail report as:
- Speed – the interface speed that was set from ifSpeed when the device was last walked
- RX – the Receive speed
- TX – the Transmit speed
These speeds are inherited from the Speed setting when walking the devices. This works for symmetrical interfaces, but for asymmetrical interfaces, the ifInSpeed and ifOutSpeed must be manually set.
To manually set the speed on an interface, see the Manage Devices interface in the Administration Tool.
How does Statseeker handle asynchronous speeds on Interfaces?
The Rx and Tx values for asynchronous links must be manually set, see the Manage Devices interface in the Administration Tool.
