Hi Macan,

How can i do this?
Awaiting for your reply.

Hi Team,

Suppose we have devices and sites as welll. we know that under sites there will be devices right. Devices only having device name can i add before and after any words on devices.
Lets say device name is "eurosil01-4glbb-fr" and i want to make it like that "frede eurosil01-4glbb-fr" is it possible in Cacti.
That's my question. Please help us share you idea.

Thanks & Regards,

Right now, you have to do that by hand, one device at a time. Though, if you know SQL well, you can make the update that way using either a tool like Toad, or similar. Afterwards, you will have to 'Reapply Suggested Names' on Graphs and Data Sources though. It's not a big deal so long as you are comfortable with tools that allow raw editing of tables. Just be careful. I used to use MS Access, but it's such a dog. Better to use Toad or Heidi SQL vs. MS Access.
