# Get device-id

Once you've created the device, [as shown here](../../device/manage-devices/add-new-device), you'll need to retrieve its device\_id assigned by the system to that machine.

1. click on **Devices** menu to enter the list of all devices currently registered, than...
2. click on **device name** to access its details page

![click on the device name from within the device list page](https://887564422-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Mgf4wby1nhNas9J0n_V%2F-MgfXwXVnnRYLECA3a9h%2F-Mgfca4RoCWmcFjGongY%2F0002.png?alt=media\&token=5186623e-9b42-47d0-b953-3899e615ac51)

Now is possible to get the **device\_id** as a part of the url of the device detail page.\
Here below 7e7a6c92-6835-481f-9d36-456ffed27852 is the device id.
