    Description

      Hello,

      I want to change host name, and I can find it in web interface, although I did use the admin account.

      And when I tried to change with script in path "cd /opt/observium" and then "php rename_device.php 10.0.0.65 server_what_ever" (I use Ubuntu server 20.04 as host)

      "NOT renamed. Could not resolve server_what_ever"

      With kind regards

      P

          devices can only be renamed to a hostname that actually resolves, otherwise the device would no longer be able to be polled

          I think I can not choose a random name, but have to choose another name of the server? If the device (named: server1) is added by IP-Adresse, so the name is 10.0.0.12, and I can only change the name to "server1" the actual name of the server.
