Get device by hostname

Request device resources belonging to a tenant by using the hostname (DNS name).
The hostname ("host_name") may not be the same as the name ("name") displayed by
Cylance
. The hostname is created by the operating system, while the name can be changed in the management console or API. For domain-joined computers, the "host_name" would be "hostname.domain.com". For computers not joined to a domain, it would just be "hostname".
