There's a CLI script which will rename hosts.
Needs to be done on CLI to rename the rrd directory.

Can the IP addresses be changed to resolvable names, or is the strategy to nuke the entry and start over? I've made the same bonehead move for several entries.

Don't add things by IP address.
Don't make nonsense excuses either. If you have to, use /etc/hosts.
Putting ip addresses into observium is inexcusable in virtually all instances.

"Devices are identified by hostname"
^^^^ Thats the problem. There is none.
I'm looking for an alternative way to identify the device in
observium
because they are added by IP address. For many, many reasons we
don't use
DNS on these devices, which I really don't want to get into. But
it looks
like that will be the only option at this point.

Devices are identified by hostname.
sysName is just an ancillary piece of information which is used
for
dupe detection and auto detection. It's not useful for humans,
really.
