Allow same Device Names (different groups)

Hi,

I have noticed that you cannot have two devices with the same name, even if they are in different groups. This is very annoying, because at each site we have a firewall and remembering to name them with the customers name in from is annoying. Would it be possible to append the groupname to the from of the device name.

EG - you add a device called 'firewall' to a group called 'customer A' the device would display as 'customer A/firewall'

    We have the same problem with multiple devices with the same name. What we do is to add the last 3 chars of the AWS instance id to the end. See attached jpg. However with  this we cannot link the ec2 instance to logic monitor device to view the combined graph. Any suggestions?
