Is it possible to change a device name via Data Aggregator REST Web Services in DX Netops Performance Management?
DX Netops Performance Management all versions.
You can change the name by using a POST to the device ItemId
See the http://<DA>:8581/rest/devices/documentation endpoint on the Data Aggregator for additional information.
Change the port and protocol for your installation.
Data Aggregator Rest Endpoint: http(s)://<da_host>:<port>/rest/devices/ItemId
Example:
https://da-server8582/rest/devices/10648
REST Method: PUT
Content-Type: application/xml
Example Body:
<Device version="1.0.0">
<Item version="1.0.0">
<Name>NewNameHere</Name>
</Item>
</Device>
When you send the PUT to that devices ItemID it will change the name.
The new name will be seen in the DX Netops Portal after the next Data Aggregator sync
The name will also be locked and will only update via REST as shown above.
