Node Rediscovery?

Question

Is there a way to get Orion to update its node name for a device after it's already being managed?

We' going through and changing hostnames of devices (switches, routers) along with DNS name, but it doesn't seem that Orion catches on to this and still keeps the old hostnames in its node list..

If it can't do it could that be a feature request?

Thanks..

I know that this is not currently possible with the current version of NPM.  Depending on what you need, you can create a Scheduled Task that runs a SQL query to update the Orion Node name with either the SysName or DNS name value.

Actually, it looks like nothing gets refreshed after it's already been discovered, node details or interface details..

Looks like I'm asking for a feature request..
