Update hostname automatically in Graphs

[niranga1127]

Hi,

I'm using Version 1.2.23
i have added around 30000 devices to the cacti using automation rules.
But some of the hostnames of the devices are changing time to time. How can i update this in graph names ?
Graph name for format --
|host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifName| - |query_ifAlias|

Set correct graph name format in templates -> graph and data sources.
Go to console -> management -> graphs -> select graphs with wrong name and below "Reaplly suggested names". The same for data source

I tried this method. But it doesnt work
I didnt change any graph template . Graph/data source template have already set correctly

[niranga1127]

However after running reapply suggested names , it automatically remove the interface name.
When i add graphs initially with automation rules , it was added correctly with given format. So there cannot be any issue with graph template

Kindly help me on this....!1

Reapply suggested names uses format from graph template, so you have to change it

I tried your method by setting graph template but it didnt work
hostname didnt change
Hostname under Console --> devices name cannot be changed automatically right ?

Anyone can help me on this ?

Any update on this

I'm confused now. You talked about hostname but in your graph name is host_description.
You can use both, check https://docs.cacti.net/Variables.md (find Host Variables article)

I ran php -q poller_graphs_reapply_names.php -id=2 -d command to specific router and after that ifAlias dissappeared.
I tried changing the graph template by adding space and tried this script again. it doesnt work
