Change agent name during autoregistration

[Stanislav]

Hello,

Can anyone please assist with the following?
I would like to add a string to a hostname parameter in config file, during the Agent installation process.

For example if a server name is SBS2011 - the agent will pull the NetBios name as SBS2001 and will pass it to the Zabbix Server.
I need to find a way to add a string to the hostname before it is passed to Zabbix Server - for example CustomerName-SBS2011.

Is it possible? If so then how should I do it?

Thanks in advance.

You can set the hostname with 'any' string you want.
The best way to do it depends on how do you install the agent.
In my case i have 10.000+ hosts, so i create a postint script that changes the needed parameters.
Those are Unix hosts, so i basically used sed.

Thank you for your answer! This is what i came to after trying various things to no avail. The question is however how do I make the change to HostName parameter in config file BEFORE it registers itself in zabbix server?
