Using net_connect & snmpcollector to monitor network devices.

Alarms generated from these probes contains hostname in source field where IP address is expected.

Environment

Release : 9.2 or later

Working as expected. We expect the Ip/host to be resolvable using DNS

As a workaround for Servers you can try to insert the hostname in the host file to force the discovery via Hostname
