Datto UUIDs to Agent Names

With the Datto Windows Agent, some of the normal shell commands used when working with agents behave differently.

For example, I’m accustomed to using zfs list when connecting to a device via SSH. I can confirm that the device is paired by IP instead of by name and confirm that the correct IP was used. The output would be something like this (extra columns removed)

homePool/home/agents/192.168.1.1
homePool/home/agents/192.168.1.2
homePool/home/agents/192.168.1.3

However, for servers that have the Datto Windows Agent installed, the ZFS pools are named after UUIDs:

               
homePool/home/agents/53f7d9b98fa84da8914b2d890c3cd551
homePool/home/agents/57c0741c8c454d0da29cd1d76f80b173
homePool/home/agents/1c7f0ca7c6464d3c87efd51406122516

I have no idea which agent is which from this and for the snapctl commands, I need to know the ID (technically, you can use the hostname here, too)

To find out which is which, use the following snapctl command: snapctl list

User@datto:~# snapctl list
53f7d9b98fa84da8914b2d890c3cd551 SRV1
57c0741c8c454d0da29cd1d76f80b173 SRV2
1c7f0ca7c6464d3c87efd51406122516 SRV3
