ProcedureTo Share Host Preferences

You can change the preferences of one host, and apply those changes to multiple hosts. For example, if you want all managed hosts in one group to be configured for a new port, you can make the change once, and then share the new port number with all the other hosts in the group.

  1. Make the changes you want, submit them, restart the agent, and wait for changes to be uploaded.

  2. Open the Preferences window again select the original host.

  3. Click Select target hosts.

    The Select Hosts window opens.

  4. Add multiple hosts to the Selected Hosts list and then click OK.

    The preferences that you changed in the original host are copied to the selected hosts.

    You can choose to share preferences with offline hosts. Their preferences are updated when they come online.
