Hi Team,

 

We would like to request a REST API in OpManager that allows updating the Display Name of a device directly, without deleting/re-adding the device.

 

We have over 150 devices that need renaming as part of a naming-standard change. Doing this manually via the UI is time-consuming and error-prone. An API would allow us to automate the process efficiently while ensuring no loss of device data or monitoring history.

 

 

Endpoint: /api/v1/devices/{deviceId}

 

Method: PATCH or PUT

 

Request Body Example:

 

 

{

  "displayName": "NEW-NAME-123"

}

 

Behavior:

 

Only update the Display Name.

 

Preserve all device details (interfaces, performance history, associations, site, credentials).

 

Log an audit entry with old and new names.

 

 

Bulk update endpoint (accepting an array of {deviceId, displayName}).

 

Please confirm if this API already exists, or if not, whether it can be considered for the roadmap. If there’s an existing workaround (e.g., scriptable internal API), we’d be happy to explore it.
