Description

I work with a ton of devices without domain names, or with a particularly long FQDN.
I would love seeing an option to rename the various hosts on the graph, so I can have more friendly names than their IPs.

A good companion option might be to use only the 'hostname' part of the FQDN, but an option to rename hosts would easily provide enough to do that myself.

Love using this tool, almost daily! Thanks!

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how command-line targets become labels in the graph, then inspect the existing target and option handling. Done means users can provide friendly names for graphed hosts, with the requested hostname-only behavior covered if feasible.
