Description

From the Navigation Panel:
1. Open Dashboards | Administration | Agents | Agent Status
2. Select the agent for the affected host
3. Click on Edit Properties (this required a click on Edit then Edit Properties in earlier versions)
4. Click on Modify the private properties for this agent.

6. Click on Save.
