Agent > Rename

Use this function to rename any existing machine account. You can change either the machine ID or group ID to any account name you wish.

Rename

Pressing Rename changes the account name of the selected Agent machine. If Rename Agent at next check-in then rename account on the VSA server is selected then the Agent is renamed first. Once the Agent is successfully renamed, the account name on the VSA is changed.

Rename Agent at next check-in then rename account on the VSA server

Select this option to dynamically change an account name for an actively checking in Agent. This option guarantees that the Agent and server remain in sync.

Rename account on VSA immediately

Select this option for accounts you wish to rename prior to deploying the Agent. Renaming an account immediately on the VSA for an account with an actively checking in Agent prevents that Agent from successfully checking in again until the new account name is entered at the Agent. (Right click the Agent menu and enter the new account name.)

Merge offline account <Offline Machine ID> into <Select Machine ID>

Use merge to combine log data in two different accounts that pertain to the same machine. This could be necessary if an Agent was uninstalled and then reinstalled with a different account name. Also, loading a new Agent onto a machine that has had an Agent before may create a duplicate account for the same machine.

New Name

Enter a name you wish to change the machine ID to be.

Group ID

Select the group ID you wish to assign to this account. The default leaves the group ID unchanged.

Machine.Group ID

Lists the Agent machines according to the Specify Accounts criteria. Click the radio button to the left of the machine account you wish to rename.

New Name at Next Check-in

Lists the new name the account will be renamed to the next time that Agent checks in. Only pending renames are displayed here.
