We recently replaced a number of Cisco firewalls with Palo Alto. The devices stayed at the same polling IP so ping still worked and we only had to discover the two monitored interfaces. We only monitor ping and two interfaces on these devices.

Since the swapout, Tab 9 still holds the system info and other names of the previous device and has not updated to reflect the new device. I'm guessing doing a discovery would fix this however it will also add around other 20 unwanted sensors per device which we'd have to delete. Is it possible to update the information in this tab without performing a full auto-discovery?

Dear Jim,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. I'm very much afraid though the Auto-Discovery indeed would be the only way to get this information. Sorry.

best regards.
