Zenoss 4.2.5 - Event Email Notification - Device shows IP address but I need the DNS name to appear

I looked through many forum links to find an answer to this but have not found anything that works yet.

Someone must have solved this issue.

In the email notification html,

${evt/device} displays an IP address but I need to see the device name or title

Based on forum responses, I tried ...

${evt/device/title}
${evt/device_title}
${evt/device/Name/}

The 4.2.5 admin guide Appendix D does not reference a TALES name for this field. (Help!)

What is the appropriate method on getting the device DNS name to appear in email

I am open to implement whatever works.

Thanks,
Ken

You can try: ${eventSummary/actor/element_title}

Sounds like your device's name is actually it's IP address... rename it at the device level and you won't have to worry about this in a notification.
