So you keep all RRD data when a device is deleted to re-use them when a device with the same hostname is re-added..?

Re add device
Realise why your suggestion is the most annoying thing on earth.

Hi Adam,
since this bothered me more than once: why don't you just use e.g.
device_49 as the folder name instead of the device' hostname? This would
make renaming in the panel possible since folder names are not connected
anymore to the hostname.

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

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.

You are trying to solve a problem which doesn't exist.
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.

to set this manually in Observium?
