This may not look like much, but it's big. I have been a Product Manager for more than 6 years at Kentik and when joining in 2016, I remember asking why our users couldn't give names with dots (".") and dashes ("-") when registering them in Kentik.

It wasn't easy back then but we've progressively removed all the technical hurdles to progressively enable this. (Trust me, it wasn't easy).

Today, I am very happy to announce that your device can now contain dots and dashes in their names!

As they are saying: "Great things come to those who wait"

Important note
While you can now rename all your existing devices, please be warned that any Saved Filter relying on Device Names will have to be updated accordingly to reflect any change you make to its name.
Similarly, if any dynamic Cost Group or Capacity Group relies on device naming you will also have to update them
