Setting Up CA Performance Center › SNMP Profiles › Edit an SNMP Profile

Edit an SNMP Profile

Users with the required role rights can modify SNMP profiles to reflect changes to security settings.

Note: You cannot change the SNMP version of a profile once it has been created. The profile must be deleted and then recreated.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the Administrator role.
2. Navigate to the Manage SNMP Profiles page.

   The page displays the current list of SNMP profiles.

3. Select a profile in the list, and click Edit.

   The Edit Profile dialog opens.

4. Modify the profile settings as needed.
5. Click OK.

   Your changes are saved.

   You return to the Manage SNMP Profiles page.

   CA Performance Center automatically performs a global synchronization to send the updated information to all registered data sources.

Change the Order of SNMP Profiles

Administrators can change the priority order of SNMP profiles to influence their selection in discovery and reporting. The Order parameter determines the order in which the secure information contained in an SNMP profile is used to try to query a selected device. If the query fails, the next profile is used, in priority order.

Tenant administrators can only see and manage the SNMP profiles available to the tenant domains with which they are associated.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the required administrative role rights.
2. Navigate to the Manage SNMP Profiles page.

   The page displays the current list of SNMP profiles.

3. Select a profile in the list.
4. Click Move Up or Move Down to change the order in the list, or drag and drop a profile to the correct place.

   The SNMP Profile moves higher or lower in the list. The change in priority is saved to the database.

   Note: Move Up is disabled for the first item in the list; Move Down is disabled for the last item in the list.
