Vunetrix Manual: Manage Device Tree

While viewing the device tree (or parts of it), click on the Management tab to enter a different tree view which shows your devices and sensors in a less colorful way. While in this view, you can move monitoring objects using drag&drop in your browser window. You can also view and edit object settings by selecting it. Changes take effect immediately. When done, leave the Management tab.

In order to arrange objects in the tree, you have the following options:

Drag&Drop a Sensor

You can either move a sensor within the same device, or clone a sensor to another device.

  • Within the same device, drag any sensor and drop it to the place where you want to have it. A shade will show the future position. When dropping, the sensor will be moved to this position and existing sensors will be lined up after it. This is a very easy way to reposition your sensors.
  • Drag any sensor from one device and drop it on another to clone a sensor. This will create the same sensor type, with the same settings, on the new device, while maintaining the original sensor. A shade will show the future position. Note: Cloned sensors are put to Pause status initially to give you the chance to change any settings before monitoring begins. Please check the settings and resume monitoring.

Note: You cannot clone 'fixed' objects, such as the root group or a probe device. You cannot clone the sensor types QoS (Quality of Service) One Way Sensor and QoS (Quality of Service) Round Trip Sensor.

Note: In order to clone entire groups or devices, please use the Clone Object functionality accessible via the objects' Context Menu.

Drag&Drop a Group or Device

You can change a group's or device's position by using drag&drop.

  • Within the same probe or group, drag any group or device and move it up or down in the device tree. A small red arrow will appear, showing the future position. When dropping, the group or device will be moved to this position and existing probes, groups, and devices will be lined up underneath. This is a very easy way to reposition your groups or devices.
  • Drag any group or device from one probe or group and drop it on another probe or group. A small red arrow will appear, showing the future position. When dropping, the group or device will be moved to the new probe or group. Existing groups and devices will be lined up underneath. This is a very easy way to change the probe a group or device is part of, or to add groups or devices to other groups.

Note: The Local Probe and Remote Probes cannot be moved.

Multi-Edit Object Properties

You can use Multi-Edit for object settings:

  • Hold down the Ctrl key and select multiple groups, devices, or sensors (one of a kind).
  • In the appearing dialog, select the settings you would like to edit, change the according values and click on Save. The changes will be applied to all selected objects.

The dialog is the same as described in the Multi-Edit (Edit Settings) section.
