Device name (#WALvar:deviceName#)
XML identifiers: Requires two keys: One named HBL01 (HBL02 .. 25) identifying heartbeat data of your choosing, and the matching HBV01-25 with string #WALvar:deviceCurrentName# Purpose: These two parameters are the identifier of a heartbeat label, and it’s value. The #WALvar:deviceName# is replaced during heartbeat with the device name, giving for instance device_name and iPadMyCompanyInc-0422 to the heartbeat logging server.
Status: Currently in use.
Category: Heartbeat keys (labels and value).
See also: Setting alternative device name
Usage: Use defaults, if possible, letting the logging server extract the label and values. Note that since iOS 15, the actual device name can NOT be extracted from the device, but must be set before it can be read using Setting alternative device name.
Default: Defaults to the pair of HBK07 = device_name, and HBV07 = #var:deviceName# with the replacement identifier #var:deviceName# being replaced during actual operation with the name of the device, as defined in Apple device settings. See Development, below.
Development status: Stable.
Example: Choosing to moving this pair to HBL10 / HBV10:
…
<key>HBK10</key>
<string>device_name</string>
…
<key>HBV10</key>
<string>#WALvar:deviceCurrentName#</string>
