Enforce Short name for Nodes

thangaselvi

Hi All,

There is any way to enforce short name for devices after discovery process automatically ? All devices are discovery with FQDN .

Hello, i did it using database manager

SQL:

UPDATE nodesdata SET Caption = 'NEWCAPTION' WHERE IP_Address = 'nodeip';

It shouldn't revert it, usually doesn't touch it if its been modified.

By default, SolarWinds will take the device provided SysName (via SNMP or WMI). If none, or ICMP-only monitored, it will use the FQDN resulting from a DNS reverse lookup.

If you need to keep only the Host portion of the FQDN, then you can run a script like this one: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/PowerShell/Update.Captions.ps1

That is much needed one which is missing … Does any one have that script ? i hope re-discover process does not revert it ?

Nope, you could set up a SQL job to truncate them periodically. There is probably at least one feature request you could go vote on regarding this!!
