Hi everyone,
I already added the device as ICMP via Network Sonar Wizard. Unfortunately, the hostname is the same with the IP Address. How can I change multiple device hostnames?

i make this on Database using this query
UPDATE nodesdata SET Caption = 'NODE NAME' WHERE IP_Address = '172.60.4.226';

Thank you Giovana. But i am looking for bulk update.
With ICMP only, we are limited in discovering what the name of the device is, unlike SNMP/WMI/Agent, where we can ask each node for there hostname/system name. ICMP by default will attempt to use reverse DNS to populate a name, if it does not have a DNS entry, then the IP Address will be used.
So the options are (no particular order):
1) Leverage a spreadsheet with the names and use the API as outlined by ldelt
2) Create a reverse DNS entry for each node.
3) Manually update each node in SolarWinds with a name.
