Changing the service names

[exsilium]

Hi,

To keep the naming conventions coherent, I would like to rename some of the services that has been auto-discovered. It is possible to do this for platforms and servers but for some reason not for services. The only way through the server would be to delete the service and create a new one.

I did try to manually edit the service name changing it in eam_service table (using Postgre for backend) but it did not have any immediate effect when looking at the gui.

Where would it need to be changed or what needs to be done to get the changed name visible?

It would be quite tedious to start deleting and re-creating the services just for the sake of correcting the names.

Hopefully someone can help me with this.

Thanks!

As you know, hacking on the database should be done with caution.

With that said, a lot of the data you see in the UI is pulled from caches so updating the database directly may not be reflected in the UI for a running system. You might try a restart of the HQ Server to test this theory.
