Description = Hostname

It would be helpful if the discovery process used the device's hostname as the description if the description is not manually configured. I suppose this could be tricky as it would probably require parsing the device's configuration file to extract the hostname, but it certainly would make it faster/easier when adding many devices. Perhaps it would simpler to parse the command prompt instead of the configuration since most network equipment puts the hostname into the prompt.

I concur. If not possible from config, give an option for PTR resolution from DNS. This would have saved me a lot of time since the 0.3.1 requires db rebuild.
