Problem

When uploading ESXi reports to Dashboard, they all have the same hostname and I cannot differentiate my reports.

 

Solution

This is a known feature enhancement request. In Dashboard, it is possible to change the hostname once the report is uploaded. Additionally, you can change the primary system identifier type. By default, target systems within CIS-CAT Pro Dashboard are primarily identified by hostname. This means, where ever you see a target system in a list, or a search result, the identifier you see is the hostname. The primary identifier however can be configured, either at the CIS-CAT Pro Dashboard application level or on each individual target system.

To change the hostname on an individual level you can do the following:

From the top navigation panel, select Reports → Assessment Results List. Then choose the report you would like to modify:

Next, click on the Target Primary ID:

Under actions you can select the edit icon and modify the Hostname.

See this section of the documentation for steps to change the primary identifier type on an application level: https://ciscat-pro-dashboard.docs.cisecurity.org/en/stable/source/Dashboard%20User%27s%20Guide/#primary-identifier-type
