User Story

As a PRTG User, I want to be able to use the %device placeholder in sensor names.

Details of User Story

To be able to give sensors a more meaningful name and to save configuration time especially in large PRTG installations, the %device variable should become available for existing and newly created sensors.

Acceptance criteria

The %device placeholder should add the name of the device to a sensor
The %device placeholder should work in device templates

Status
