Rename an existing service in your monitoring system to better reflect its current role, ownership, or purpose. This endpoint helps keep service names consistent with organizational changes — such as product renaming, infrastructure restructuring, or shifts in team responsibilities.
To perform the update, provide the service's unique identifier (
service_id
) as a path parameter and the new
name
in the request body. This change is reflected across all related views, including dashboards, incident logs, and monitor assignments.
Why this is useful:- Clarity in operations — Rename services to match new internal naming conventions or business terminology.
- Reduce confusion — Keep service names descriptive and current so that team members and stakeholders clearly understand their purpose.
- Avoid data fragmentation — Update rather than recreate services to preserve historical monitoring and incident data tied to the original service.
To view the current details of a specific service before renaming, use the
Get Service Details endpoint.
