Managing and Unmanaging a Device

By default, OpManager DE manages all the discovered devices. However, there might be some known devices that are under maintenance and hence cannot respond to status polls sent by OpManager DE. These devices can be set to unmanaged status to avoid unnecessary polling. Once maintenance gets over, they can be set to managed status. Devices can be managed or unmanaged from both the Central and Probe web client.

To unmanage a device
  1. Go to the device snapshot page.
  2. Under Actions, click on Unmanage.
