Title: Changing device name
Post by: Westy_87 on December 18, 2024, 12:13:16 am

When we change a switch hostname (production plant, things get moved around a bit...), nedi discovers it as a whole new device and we lose the history of that device.

Can we avoid this by changing the switch hostname ('device' field) in the relevant database tables before doing a new discovery? I did try and post the code but it gets blocked by your website security policy.

Since the device name is the primary key, yes that should work. Sorry for the restrictive and cumbersome security here...
