Offer placeholders to change how device names are shown

Votes:

I did a large discovery (700+ hosts), but I don't like default device names.

SNMP sensors let you choice how you want to name them by using placeholders (e.g. [ifname][ifalias]).

Device names should offer a similar feature too, letting you choose at least placeholders like [dns-name], [host-ip] and possibly "snmp-featured" ones (e.g. [snmp-sysname])

MaxFactorPlus,

I invite you to add this to our existing thread for features to be added to PRTG.

How can I propose new features or sensors for PRTG

Thank you for your input!
