Collector Name Property

I need to set a property on my collectors that equals the name of the collector.  Name meaning the name of the server.   ##HOST## cannot be used during collector down events and all we have to work ...

The hostname field in the API response should have the name of the device. Looks like this should do it:

from lm import lm
collectors = {x.id:x for x in lm.get_collector_list(size=1000).items}
for id, collector in collectors.items():
    if collector.description != collector.hostname:
        result = lm.update_collector_by_id(id,{"description": collector.hostname, "collectorGroupId": collector.collector_group_id})
        print(f"Collector {id}\n\tOld description: {collector.description}\n\tNew description: {result.description}")
