Description

Hello, would it be possible to add a metric to show the hostname of the Fortigate device. Rather than just the IP address of the Fortigate device, and from what I understand that can be retrieved from an existing metric fortigate_version_info.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing collector code to see how fortigate version info is populated, then add a new metric for hostname using the same API response data.
