    Host Rename

    Reply

    hi everyone

     Just a quick question, I am renaming a bunch of switches and routers at the moment to coinside with a new naming convention.  Solarwinds still displays the old names.  Is there anyway of automatically updating the node name with the hostname?

     

    cheers

    If you clear the Node Name field (the Caption column in the Nodes table in the database), the poller should fill in the new name for the switch.
