Not an issue I guess, I just couldn't find how to solve this.
I just installed Komodo as docker container, periphery is installed as services with systemd on server where Komodo is running. I can see in Komodo interface the server name is some random name. I was going through documentation, Github issues, searched the interned, but I haven't found how to display the actual server name, not something random.

I guess I am missing something very obvious. Any help is appreciated.

I literally just had the same question and I figured it out:

scroll all the way down to the bottom of the server's page:

There you can rename the server. Beats me why it isn't on the top of the page...

Pffff... Yeah, I didn't scroll that much. But, I am expecting this to be automatic. Thanks for the help.

The real question now is why would I want some random server name? Periphery should pick up real host name.
Devs, can you please change this behavior?

Was looking for a same answer. Managed to rename a server with syncs. My understanding is that sync applied by address. If you existing server has the same address - it will get a new name because of the sync:

[[server]]
name = "server-my-fancy-server"
[server.config]
address = "https://periphery:8120"
enabled = true

It is now easier to rename a server in v1.17.5!

UI: Improve renaming visibility / intuitiveness

Now you rename by clicking on the name in the header
Lots of people didn't see the previous rename function until it was pointed out, hopefully this makes it easier to figure out.
