Manual Override Option
The user can click on manual override option on the right side when the user wants to perform any Nimble configuration updates specially with respect to Nimble address and port and also can be used to update device camera URL(i.e. Video source address).

This option is shown with a cross mark by default to show that manual override option is in disabled mode. When the user clicks on this option it opens up a warning message and dialog box as shown below.
The warning dialog box in orange color guides the user to bring down the Nimble docker container(Note: User can just restart the nimble) once they enable the manual override option. Once read the user can close this warning dialog box and click on yes in the blue dialog box to enable manual override. This shows Nimble configurations updated message on the UI. Then user can see that Manual override icon is enabled and shown with green tick as shown below.
Once the Manual override is enabled, the user should restart the nimble.
It is mandatory to restart the nimble container once the manual override is enabled, otherwise the state integrity will not be guaranteed.
Then the user can go ahead and edit the Nimble configurations or update the device camera URL feed, here in the above images we can see that the Nimble address:10.120.0.62 and port:9009, this is updated to address:10.120.0.64 and port:6344. Once the user is done with Configuration updates, they can stop the manual override by clicking on the same icon. This opens up a dialog box asking the user to resume Nimble transactions as shown below.
The user can click on yes and the manual override process is disabled. All Nimble transactions are resumed back again. User can see Nimble back to online mode once he/she clicks on the refresh button beside Nimble in the configuration table. User can see the Nimble address and ports updated as shown below.
