How to change Node Information

Hi,

I've inherited Orion and can't seem to find where or know how to change the Description and Contact info that is displayed under the Node Details section.

Anyone know how, probably simple.

Thanks.

The description, contact, and location fields are discovered from the monitored device.
If you change them within Orion, they will be overwritten with the device information during the next discovery.

To change them permanently, you will need to change them on the managed router, switch, server, etc.

Also.... many people will create custom properties to hold information such as Department, Bulding, Support Contact, etc and add this information to each Node.
