[Q&A] Is it possible to use hostnames for remotes? #702
-
Documentation & bug reporting acknowledgmentYes, I read it Describe your problemHello, I was wondering if it is possible to use hostnames instead of IP addresses or IP ranges when performing a remote inventory with GLPI Agent. Indeed, I'd like to inventory a computer that has a dynamic IP address but a consistent hostname, such as "computer1". Is there a way to configure the agent to inventory "computer1" and resolve its IP address using DNS? |

But this is possible if you use the For ToolBox "netscan", it could be interesting to also support host target using hostname in the future. |
