When you bootstrap the VM-Series firewall with dhcp-accept-server-hostname=yes in the init-cfg.txt file, then subsequently update the hostname for the VM-Series firewall, the hostname does not update in the <namespace>_dimension CloudWatch metrics.
Workaround: To change the hostname after boot up, use one of the following methods to prevent the firewall from accepting the hostname sent by the DHCP server:
  • CLI command: dhcp-accept-server-hostname=no
  • init-cfg.txt file: Remove dhcp-accept-server-hostname=yes, or set dhcp-accept-server-hostname=no.
