Locating a UUID

Locating a UUID

Each Nominode and each of the resources it contains has a UUID that is used to uniquely identify it, in case its alias changes or is duplicated.  The unique identifier can be used to pinpoint the source of unexpected behaviors. 

Locating a Nominode's UUID

There are two ways to locate a Nominode's UUID and it is helpful to follow both sets of steps to ensure that UUID in both locations match.
To view a Nominode's UUID stored in your Organization account, follow these steps:
  1. Open https://my.nomnomdata.com and click on the Login button in the upper right hand corner of the website.
  2. Log in using your Nom Nom Data account.
  3. Select Nominodes under the Manage menu in the upper right hand area of the website.
  4. Click on the name of the Nominode whose UUID you want to view.
  5. While the Nominode Configuration page is displaying, the UUID for your Nominode will be the value listed after the last forward slash ( / ) in the URL displaying in your browser's address bar.

To view a Nominode's UUID stored on the Nominode itself, follow these steps:
  1. Open a local, telnet or ssh session with your server.
  2. Navigate to the folder where your Nominode software is installed and view the config.ini file.
  3. The value after nominode_uuid = in the [CONFIG] section of the file is the UUID for your Nominode.
