Change a zone for a BIG-IP device
Before you can change a BIG-IP device's zone, you must have created the zone on the Data Collection Device (DCD).
Changing the zone assignment for a BIG-IP determines which DCDs collect statistics data for that device. Normally, you assign a BIG-IP to a zone as part of the initial setup for that device, but you can change the zone to which a BIG-IP device is assigned as needed.
- From BIG-IQ, at the top of the screen, clickSystem, then, on the left, click .The BIG-IQ Data Collection Devices screen opens listing the DCDs in the cluster. The Services column lists the BIG-IP services monitored by each DCD. If no services are enabled for a DCD, this column displaysAdd Servicesinstead.
