Remove Custom Property from Node

This is going to be a noob question but I can't seem to find out how to remove a custom property that was assigned to a node.

I created a custom property with a population requirement and assigned a number of nodes the custom property.  I now need to remove it from ONE of the nodes because the node is no longer part of that application suite.  For the life of me I can't see where to remove the property.

I want this box to be empty when I look at the Node Details / Custom Properties for Nodes for that specific node.

I'm thinking I'm missing something really simple.

TIA.

  • Looks like the custom property is set as a required property, which means that when you add or edit the entity (node in this case) it won't let you unset it, or have a blank / null value. If you go to Settings --> All Settings --> Manage Custom Properties --> Select the custom property you need to change, and click 'Edit'. If it's desired, uncheck the radio-button 'Required property' and click Submit.

    In our environment, certain required custom properties aren't always able to be properly filled out so we have N/A in some cases, as we still want it to be required.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for responding.  I ended up removing the node and then doing Network Discovery on the node again. 

    Also, let me expand on what I did in case this is relevant.  I create a group with the logic of

    BusinesUnit_AppName_Environment

    so for example ENG_SalesForce_PRD. 

    All of the production servers for that app suite were added to the above.

    I created a custom property BusinesUnit_AppName_NodeType

    so for example ENG_SalesForce_SRV (for all servers).

    I assigned the custom property to all of the servers.

    What I still cannot figure out is how I could have unassigned that custom property from one server?

  • You could have done this through manage nodes and selected edit properties on that node.

  • You can't remove a required property. If you made the property not required then you can just blank it out.
