Associating a business hour profile with a device using the Device Manager
After you have created a business hour profile, you can manually associate/unassociate the profile with one or more devices, as described in the following procedure. Alternately, you can edit the business hour profile, as described in
Defining a business hour profile.To manually associate business hour profiles with devices
1. Choose Configure > Device Manager.
The Business Hours Profile column lists the associated business hour profile for each device.
2. Select the device(s) to associate/unassociate with a business hour profile, and then click the actions menu.
A device can only have one assigned business hour profile at a time.
3. Choose General > Edit. The Edit Device wizard appears.
4. Select the Metrics/Alerts tab.
5. In the Business Hours Settings frame, select the Business Hours Profile you want to apply the device(s) from the pull-down menu.
If a Business Hours profile is associated with a device, then metric roll-up will begin to perform business hours-based and non-business hours-based roll-up. Metric roll-up continues to perform the existing “All Hours” metric roll-up. The time-zone of the device together with the business hours profile are used to determine what hours are used to perform the business hours-based and non-business-hours based roll-up.
6. When you are satisfied with your selection, click Submit.
With the addition of Business Hours, you have another option when configuring a Performance Summary report. For more information, see
