Rename

NAVIGATION  Agent > Templates > Rename

The Rename page renames machine ID template accounts.

Procedure

  1. Select a machine ID in the paging area.
  2. Click one of the following radio buttons:
  • Rename account - Select this option to rename a selected machine ID account.
  • Merge offline account <Offline Machine ID> into <Select Machine ID> Delete <Offline Machine ID> after merge - Use merge to combine log data from two different accounts into the same machine. This could be necessary if an agent was uninstalled and then re-installed with a different account name. Merge combines the accounts as follows:
    • Log data from both accounts are combined.
    • Baseline Audit data from the old offline account replaces any baseline data in the selected account.
    • Alert settings from the selected account are kept.
    • Pending agent procedures from the selected account are kept. Pending agent procedures from the old offline account are discarded.
    • The old account is deleted after the merge.

      Note: Since the machine can only be active on a single account, only offline accounts are provided in the drop-down list to merge with.

  1. Optionally enter in a New Name for the machine ID account.
  2. Optionally select a different Group ID for the machine ID account.
  3. Click the Rename button.
