uuidA unique identifier of the node
name

The internal name of the node. This is used for identifying and displaying the node, not for communication with the node!

configuration.host

The DNS name, unqualified host name or main IP address for this  node. Using a fully qualified DNS host name is recommended.

A list containing any secondary IP addresses that should also be associated with this node.
This list is often empty. NMIS does not use this property.

By default nodes are enabled for all products. Nodes are disabled if and only if they are explicitely explicitly marked as disabled.

Property NameDescription
activated.<productname>If set to 0, the node is disabled for <productname>.
If unset or set to any non-zero value, the node is considered active.

Note: The activation properties are within a subhash/subdocument, and the listing above used MongoDB dot-notation to indicate that (just like you would access such properties in an opEvents policy rule or an opConfig compliance rule).
