Node Form: Custom Attributes Tab

[This is the context-sensitive link for the Node Form: Custom Attributes Tab]

Custom Attributes enable an NNMi administrator to add information to the Node object. Custom Attributes can also be set by external applications that have been integrated with NNMi. See Custom Node Attribute Samples.

The Node Form: Custom Attributes tab displays a table view of any Custom Attributes that have been added to the selected node.

Note If your role permits, you can edit a Custom Attribute. Only users assigned to the NNMi Administrator role can add a Custom Attribute.

For information about each tab: Concept Link IconSee Also

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) Custom Attribute values can be replicated from a Regional Manager (NNMi management server) to the Global Manager. NNMi administrators for the Global Manager configure which Regional Custom Attributes they want (Global Manager: Configure Custom Attribute Replication). NNMi administrators can also configure Custom Attribute values that are unique to the Global Manager's environment (Customize Object Attributes).
