Hello Mike,

To set up a webhook for pre-maintenance notifications that includes the hostname of the device, you can utilize the Azure IoT Hub's OSConfig module. The process involves updating the module twin for the device to include the desired hostname.

Here’s a brief overview of how to achieve this:

Use the Azure CLI to update the module twin for the OSConfig module, specifying the desired hostname.

You can retrieve the existing hostname and confirm the update by querying the device's module twin.

Here’s an example command to set a new hostname:

az iot hub module-twin update -m osconfig --desired \ '{ "HostName": { "desiredName": "NewHostName" } }' --device-id <device_id> --hub-name <hub_name>

Make sure to replace <device_id> and <hub_name> with your actual device ID and IoT Hub name.

After setting this up, the webhook can be configured to send notifications that include the hostname as part of the payload.
