You seem to have hostname in both identity and inventory fields. These should be two different scripts on the device, did you update both?

Please take note that changing the identity of the device has some implications as well. There was a recent thread on this topic, [Changing device identity after field deployment](https://hub.mender.io/t/changing-device-identity-after-field-deployment/2008)
