How to include the vehicle name in forwarders

[leo]

Often we see the need to have the vehicle’s name included in the vehicle’s forwarder.
There’s two options for this, you can either Include Entity Info
which adds a new object called vinfo with all the vehicle’s information (license_plate, model, color, name, etc.)
But the other option, which is easier because it just adds another field, is to just include a key called: primary_name.

To forward this, include that key in the keys_include array of the general config, so it looks like this:

{
  "keys_include": [
    "primary_name"
  ]
}

the result is a new key called primary_name that is received in the JSON payload.

[
  {
    "primary_name": "Continental TPMS 3",
    "vo": 4870140,
    "id": 320304066014174,
    "event_time": "2019-06-28T15:55:46+00:00",
    "io_out2_short": false,
    "lon": -8040060,
    "port": 48576,
    "pdop": 134,
    "source": 3,
    "io_exp_state": false,
    "io_out1_short": false,
    "ac": 0,
    "head": 155,
    ...
  }
]

This works for any vehicle or asset name that’s forwarding data.
