Hi Adam,

 

I understand and indeed I see your attempt to keep all those infos as neat as possibile.

Perhaps the fake local names could be a solution, but in some cases it would be a long and tedious job.

A proposal: TLD and second level domain (company.com) in smaller fonts just below the machine name...?

 

Cheers

Luca

Oggetto: Re: [Observium] FQDN in syslg

 

Hmm. This is an interesting request.

The UI is designed to cut down the hostname to a manageable size, otherwise everything would be horrifically messy (we already struggle to find enough space in tables with ~12 character hostnames).

I'm not sure what a good solution to this would be. If I were running an installation with multiple devices I couldn't tell apart, I'd probably use "fake" hostnames for them via /etc/hosts.

IIRC there is an option to lengthen the hostname shortener length, but I forget what it is (and it probably doesn't work everywhere).

Hi,

does it exist a config value to show the devices FQDN within Syslog? Here we monitor devices from several companies and it would be needed, to discriminate between them.

Thanks
