Set device type

terrys1026

I have a set of devices that are ping-only (for now - snmp is coming).  I'd like to set the device type and use that to group them, instead of creating a custom device property that mirrors the device type and then have to change it when snmp is available.

I've looked in the docs and done a variety of forum searches and haven't found how to set the device type.  I guess I could go directly to SQL and set it there, but thought that there would be another method too.

Thanks!

This is a pet peeve of mine. You can and can't set in SQL. It will eventually be overwritten by the next discovery interval.

(I'm a custom property junkie, so it's no big deal, but it would really help when you are assigning views by device type. I hate having to work around something that seems so simple...)
