Question

 

     How do I change a device's class in Zenoss 3.0?

 

Answer

 

     Locate the device in the 'infrastructure' tab and drag and drop the device into into the new class on the left side panel.

 

Note: Be sure not to drag the Device Name or  Device Class HTML links.  Anywhere else in the row will work.

I've tried this in 3.0 with both Firefox 3.6.8 and IE 8.0 with no luck.  My cursor just turns into a circle with a slash through it when I try to drag and drop any device, indicating that I can't move it.  What am I missing?

That is a good question.  I have not had that issue...

Figured it out.  Be sure not to drag the Device Name or Device Class HTML links.  Anywhere else in the row will work.

Nice find!  Thanks for the update, I'll add that note to the answer above.

Or you can do this from the command line or a script:

 

 

# move to proper place in zenoss
ip="11.22.33.44"
zenosspath="/Server/SSH/Linux"
zendmd <<-EOF
device=dmd.Devices.findDevice("$ip")
device.moveDevices('$zenosspath', device.id)
commit()
EOF
