Don't update device name.

Modified on 2025-06-10 13:37:41 +0200

When I add a device manually and enter the name I don't want it to change from what I typed in. how can I stop this for a group or all devices?

IE: I typed in : "ESX-1"

Then after discovery it changes it to : "esx-1.mydomain.com (ESX-1) [ESXServer] (esx-1.mydomain.com)"

another is ... I typed in:RID2-6252-1

after discovery: 96.45.123.12 (CRID2-6252-1) [Linux/Unix]
