About Device Property Attributes

The Attributes dialog lists information about the associated device, such as contact person, location, serial number, etc. The first three attributes in the list (Contact, Description, and Location) are added by WhatsUp Gold when the device is added to the database, either by the Device Discovery wizard, or through another means.

• Click Add to add a new attribute.

  Note: When you add or edit an attribute, ensure Attribute name does not contain a space. For example, use Phone_Number as an attribute name, instead of Phone Number. WhatsUp Gold returns an 'No Such Attribute' error when an attribute variable such as %Device.attribute.[attribute_name] is used in a message and the attribute name contains a space.

• Select an attribute on the list, then click Edit to change the settings.
