Re: [Observium] duplicate system name

Nope. It's used to make sure we don't end up with duplicate hosts. You need unique hostnames and unique sysNames.

Your devices will let you set the system name somewhere in the configuration.

This issue is usually caused when people don't change the default, or set 5 switches in different locations to be called "switch1"

Hello Adam,

We have many embedded devices each with it's own hostname but the sysName is hard coded in the agent. Is there no way to update the PHP code to keep the individual hostname rule but ignore duplicate sysNames?

Thanks! Mark
