There are a few more things than just the hostname (like sysName, snmpEngineID) ... However there seem to be a few cases where we don't correctly identify a device being already known. Until now we haven't been able to pinpoint why that is...

Hi All,

We're currently evaluating observium as a our main network monitoring tool. We're using Observium CE 0.16.10.8128 and wondering how observium determines a device as unique?

We currently have the same switch added twice (via auto discovery) into observium and wondered why observium didn't detect it as the same device.

Thanks for a wonderful tool!
Kind regards,
