Change detected on device

Enable detection of changed devices on known routes

Activate an additional check during the device scan to determine whether the IP addresses of known devices have changed. If IP addresses have changed, a corresponding message will be displayed on the dashboard. If the function is activated, the devices in question will not be assigned to the default group NEW_DEVICES.

Device groups are updated when routes of known devices change

Activate this option if the IP address of a device changes and you wish to keep it in the group to which it is assigned. If this function is deactivated, devices whose IP address has changed will be removed from the groups.

Automatically enable data collection for new devices if their default group is assigned to an active data container

Activate automatic data collection for new devices whose default group is assigned to an active data container.
