Add config option to strip domain part from host/vm name

[adambarnett52]

Hi,

is there a way to drop the FQDN of a device, for example device1.blah.com becomes devcie1

Thanks

Hi Adam,

sure, but why not rename the devices in VMWare if the name doesn't fit?

Hi, We have other tools that use the FQDN, it is just in the netbox we do not. Thanks Adam

We could add config options like

strip_vm_domain_name = True
strip_host_domain_name = True

Then you would be able to switch it on/off. But this would apply for all objects synced from this source.

can you test the branch "feature/strip-domain-from-name" and see if this works now?

You need to add/set the config option in your current config:

netbox-sync/settings-example.ini

Lines 197 to 201 in ef39e23

	# strip domain part from host name before syncing device to NetBox
	#strip_host_domain_name = False
	# strip domain part from VM name before syncing VM to NetBox
	#strip_vm_domain_name = False
