Managing devices

This guide covers the Devices list in the USDN portal, the device detail page, and common actions such as edit, activate / deactivate, and delete from the list.

Devices list​

Open Devices from the main navigation. You see every device your organization can access, with toolbar controls for:

  • Search — filter by text across device fields.
  • Filter by device type — limit to a type such as VPN gateway or router.
  • Filter by status — for example operational vs offline.
  • Clear filters — reset search and pickers when filters are active.
  • List / grid view — switch between a sortable table and card layout.
  • Column picker (list view) — choose which columns are visible (name, type, site, status, management IP, last checked, and more).
  • Create New Device — opens the device registration wizard.

Devices list and toolbar

Click a row (or a card in grid view) to open that device’s detail page. Use the ⋯ (more) button in the Actions column when you need Edit, Activate / Deactivate, or Delete without leaving the list—these actions open dialogs tied to that row.

Device detail page​

The detail page shows the device name, health tags (overall health and online/offline), type, optional role, and site. A Health metrics section summarizes CPU, memory, disk, and load when telemetry is available.

Tabs along the bottom of the panel:

  • Overview — high-level status and operational context.
  • Details — configuration and inventory-style fields.
  • Events — timeline-style activity for the device.
  • Network — interfaces and network-related data.
  • Tools — operational utilities exposed for that device.

Update a device from the list​

  1. On Devices, find the device in the table or grid.
  2. Click ⋯ in the Actions column for that row.
  3. Choose Edit.
  4. In the Edit Device dialog, adjust the fields you are allowed to change, then save—or cancel to close without saving.

Edit Device dialog

Activate or deactivate​

From the same ⋯ menu, choose Deactivate when the device is operational, or Activate when it is not. Your organization’s policies determine who may change activation state.

Delete a device​

  1. Open ⋯ → Delete for the device row.
  2. Read the Confirm Delete message carefully.
  3. Click Delete to remove the device, or Cancel (or close the dialog) to keep it.

Delete confirmation

Deletion is permanent for that portal record; only proceed when you intend to remove the device from management.
