Modifying Resources
You might need to edit or delete resources to maintain your resources in vCenter Operations Manager. You
can also change the default settings for a resource kind.
Edit a Resource
When you edit a resource, you can modify one or more of its permanent characteristics, such as its collector
or attribute package.
To temporarily change the state of a resource, start or stop collection or place the resource in maintenance
mode. See “Starting and Stopping Metric Collection,” on page 30 or “Using Maintenance Mode,” on page 31.
Procedure
1 Select Environment > Environment Overview.
2 On the List tab, select the resource to edit.
3 Click the Edit Resource icon on the top of the list.
The Resource Management window opens. The items that appear in the window depend on the type of
resource that you are editing.
4 Edit the resource.
IMPORTANT Modifing some characteristics can have unintended consequences.
5 Click OK to save your changes.
Edit Multiple Resources
You can change the same property for multiple resources at the same time. For example, you can assign a new
attribute package to several resources, or to all resources of a given resource kind, at the same time. You can
change one or more properties and leave other properties unchanged.
Procedure
1 Select Environment > Environment Overview.
2 On the List tab, select the resources to edit.
You can press Ctrl-click to select multiple individual resources or Shift-click to select a range of resources.
3 Click the Edit Resource icon on the top of the list.
The Resource Management window opens. The window contains only the values that you can change for
the selected combination of resources.
NOTE If you select resources of different kinds, the window might include only the Super Metric
package drop-down menu.
4 To change a value, select the check box next to the menu or text box and type or select the new value.
5 Click OK to save your changes.
Only the selected values are changed. If you did not select the check box next to a text box or menu, its
value is not changed.
