If needed, you can change the Preferred Collector for a resource manually.
How do I change the Preferred Collector?
- For a single device: Change the preferred collector from the device’s Manage dialog, which is accessed by highlighting the device in the Resources tree and clicking the Manage button.
- For multiple devices in a group: Change the preferred collector for one or more devices in a normal group from the device group manage dialog.
- For all devices managed by a collector: Select the Devices icon for the Collector monitoring the devices. Then, check select the desired devices, and click ‘Change Preferred Collector’
