Hello there,
thank you for your inquiry.

This is not possible I'm afraid. There is no way to use a placeholder as device name. But it should be possible to use PRTG's REST API to first read the last message of a particular sensor and in a second step use the setobjectproperty call to modify the device's name.

You can find further details about the API on the following URL or within your PRTG's web-interface under Setup > PRTG API.

Best Regards,
Luciano Lingnau [Paessler Support]
