Rename FortiProxy based on FortiManager name (CLI/TCL?)

Hello,

I'm a bit newbie in Forti environment, but I'm trying to rename the appliance name with the "Device Name" entered in FortiManager:

I thought about CLI:

config system global
set hostname ${Hostname}
end

but for sure ${Hostname} is unknown

I thought about TCL:

#!
puts [exec_ondb "/adom/FortiProxy/device/." "
config system global
set hostname XXX
end
" "# "]

But with what replace XXX ?

Maybe there is another easy solution?

Thanks in advance

In this case Jinja variables for Device database will be best. See this guide for list of variables.

You can create a cli template with type jinja and use config script like this:

config system global
set hostname {{DVMDB.name}}
end

Here DVMDB.name is "Device Name" in the Device manager.
