Update hostname in EVM

[sathya66]

Some servers are having proper defined hostname(compute.company.com) but some of them having default hostnames (ip-191-10-10-13). how can we  update default hostnames to our predefined hostnames? see below

How are the hosts listed under the "Platforms" tab? These names are set during discovery, so it may be they need to be removed and re-discovered if the host names are correct under platforms. You can add a platform.name option in agent.properties to specify the hostname for that agent's host directly.

In the platform tab hostnames are correctly set . How can we re-discover this now step by step. do we need to restart the agent once re-discovered ?

After deleting the resources they are rediscovered the next time auto-discovery runs. You can also trigger it manually:
