Detect and remove Duplicate Objects

Hello

On our SMS object database we have more than 4000 duplicates objects (same IP or network with different names).
We would like to clean our database
- Detect duplicate object
- Replace duplicate object with one object
- Remove duplicate object
with API or with any way that can allow some script or automation.

Example

Name

IP

HostBadname_1.1.1.1

1.1.1.1

To be replaced by HostGoodname_1.1.1.1

HostGoodname_1.1.1.1

1.1.1.1

Good one

 

 

 

NetworkBadName.10.10.10.0.24

10.10.10.0/24

To be replaced by NetworkGoodName.10.10.10.0.24

NetworkGoodName.10.10.10.0.24

10.10.10.0/24

Good one

 

Is there any specific tools, method which can allow this ?

 

Thanks

You can use script from below link, though I just tested it on latest R81.10 jhf 66 mgmt server and it failed:

I finally found another way to identify my duplicate objects, not very clean, but it work.

I use the API "mgmt_cli set network -b myfile" to change the name on all my objects, and when there is a line error it means there is a duplicate object : "- message: "More than one object named 'HostGoodname_1.1.1.1' exists."

Now I am looking for a way to replace duplicate bad object with good object automatically
