8. On the following "Instance Details" screen, you can change the options for your Control Panel Instance:
* *Enabled* \- Use this check-box to enable or disable the Control Panel Instance. If an Instance is disabled, it will not be discovered during replication, and Control Panel users will not be able to access their data from any recovery points created while the Instance is disabled.
* *Name* \- Define a new name for the Control Panel Instance to identify it. A Control Panel Instance's name must be unique to its policy, meaning that no more than one Instance associated with a policy can have a certain name.
* *Description* \- Enter new additional information about the Control Panel Instance. This is an optional parameter, but if specified, it must be unique to the policy.
* *Type* \- Change the type of the Control Panel Instance. This option specifies what type of Control Panel is being configured and can be defined as one of the following:
** *cPanel*
** *Plesk*
** *Virtuozzo*
** *Parallels Pro*
** *Interworx*
** *DirectAdmin*
** *Parallels H-Sphere*
** *Linux Home Directories*
** *Custom*

9. On the following "Advanced Options" screen, in the drop-down menu, you can choose from three options for the "Verification log level" feature (available in CDP 4.2.0):

* *Alert*
* *Warning*
* *None*

{newversion}
The issue has been corrected in CDP 4.2.0. A new logging feature called "Verification Log Level" has been added under "Advanced Options" to change the logging level of these types of errors. If you frequently add cPanel users, set the log level to "Warning" or "None" so that your tasks do not get alerts.
