Discovery and host name update

[doum]

Hi,

I have a discovery rule to discover all our network equipment
it's working well.

device uniqueness criteria is set to IP
host name is set to SNMPv2 agent "SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0"

but recently we had to rename a part of our network switches. And zabbix doesn't update the host

host name is still the old name, but in inventory Name (device name) is updated.

is there a way to update host name for monitoring ?

That can be done by using API.
Write script which gets current hostname and inventory name. If names differ, update hostname.

Hello Everyone,
I have a problem with discovered hosts, I changed the discovery rule after the discoveries had already entered the hosts. Now changing the rule setting for visible name doesn't change my value in the hosts list. Is there any way to update the name from discovery? I can't run scripts from all the hosts I need to monitor because some are switches.
