6.9 Removing a device
If a device was removed without uninstalling the agent or communication with the management server was disabled when uninstalling the agent, the device information might be left in the management server. In such a case, you need to remove the unnecessary device to obtain the correct information about the device status.
To remove a device:
-
Display the Settings module.
-
In the menu area, select Discovery, Discovered Nodes, and Managed Nodes or Ignored Nodes.
-
Select the device you want to remove.
-
From Action, select Remove.
The selected device is removed. When a device is removed, the device information is also removed from the database.
You can rediscover a removed device by performing a search. A rediscovered device is handled as a new device, and the previous device settings are not inherited.
- Important note
-
You cannot remove a computer whose network monitor is enabled.
