Step 2. Change any of the Host Name, IP Address, or Tag fields as described in “Adding a New
Host Manually” on page 87.
Step 3. Click on OK to accept the modified agent host or Cancel to leave it unchanged. If the
entry was monitored, the change also appears on the System Manager screen.
NOTE You can edit a host entry even if a schedule is activated on it agent.
NOTE When you change a host entry’s host name, the old alert and error log file names are not
changed. When new alerts or errors arrive for the newly named host entry, they go into
new log files that have the new host name.
