No. I think you read to read it again. We do not care for hostnames because we can not manage them. BUT we have control of the IP Address. So why on earth would I care about hostnames for devices that do not use them?

Hostnames are not necessary when monitoring via SNMP, in fact IP Addresses are easier.

So you are saying you don't know and don't care about what you are actually monitoring? As it seems they (rightly so, apparently?) swap out devices daily while keeping them on the same IP address...
