Duplicate agents

[randy_srs]

ok stupid newbie question

i installed the windows agent at a clients office all 5 servers were seen by pandora . but i wanted to change the name

ie

origanal name that pandora saw was

1 exchange-SRV
2 RDP-SRV
3 backup-SRV
4 DATA-SRV
5 RDP2-SRV

I changed their names in pandora to

1 client 1 exchange-SRV
2 client 1 RDP-SRV
3 client 1 backup-SRV
4 client 1 DATA-SRV
5 client 1 RDP2-SRV

now my issue is that pandora now shows both in the system and if i delete the the origanal 5 they just keep coming back  , cannt i edit the name or do i have to do that in the conf file on the client side ?

thanks Randy

when you change the name in pandora, you are renaming in the bdd, but when agent send a new info, it send with the name of the computer, so if you want change the name, you need to do it at the pandora_agent.conf

that is what i thought . thanks :)

another one

is there a way to automaticly add a pc/server to a particular group ?
i would assume this would also be done in the agent.conf file ?

not in the agent.conf, but yes on pandora_server.conf, by default all new agent goes to server group (id = 2), you can change it.

You can actually set the group for each agent in pandora_agent.conf since r2024 like this:

group Servers

But the windows agent configuration file does not show this option (the unix version does) :-) I'll fix it right now!
