Hi,

we are on Centreon 24.10 with MSP edition licenses.

on some client we have server with same name (ie: server-tools).

Could we be able to add multiple hosts with the same host name ?

Actually we can’t :

This is not possible and there are many places in the product that expect host name uniqueness. You have several options to solve your use case:

  • Leverage Alias instead of name
  • Prefix names with a string that identifies your customer (eg “CUSTA-test”, “CUSTB-test” etc)
