Hi Ahmad, I am aware of that global setting, but the problem is I would like instance name to include the company or user name of the account that created the instance. 'instance.name' Global setting only allows be to add static text globally, which is not what I am trying to do.
Thank you for your reply.

There you can append whatever you like, the default value is 'VM'. That¹s where you get the instance name 'I-<account_id>-<vm_instance_id>-VM'. Since this is a global, all vm's managed by the cloudstack instance will reflect this. -- Æ
