# Editing Basic Gateway Information
<a name="edit-gateway-information"></a>

You can use the Storage Gateway console to edit basic information for an existing gateway, including the gateway name, time zone, and CloudWatch log group.

**To edit basic information for an existing gateway**

1. Open the Storage Gateway console at [https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home](https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/).

1. Choose **Gateways**, then choose the gateway for which you want to edit basic information.

1. From the **Actions** dropdown menu, choose **Edit gateway information**.

1. For **Gateway name**, enter a name for your gateway. You can search for this name to find your gateway on the list pages in the Storage Gateway console.
**Note**  
Gateway names must be between 2 and 255 characters, and cannot include a slash (`\` or `/`).  
Changing a gateway's name will disconnect any CloudWatch alarms set up to monitor the gateway. To reconnect the alarms, update the **GatewayName** for each alarm in the CloudWatch console.

1. For **Gateway time zone**, choose the local time zone for the part of the world where you want to deploy your gateway.

1. For **Choose how to set up log group**, choose how to set up Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor the health of your gateway. You can choose from the following options:
   + **Create a new log group** – Set up a new log group to monitor your gateway.
   + **Use an existing log group** – Choose an existing log group from the corresponding dropdown list.
   + **Deactivate logging** – Do not use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor your gateway.

1. When you finish modifying the settings you want to change, choose **Save changes**.
