Description
Sometime, you don't want the node FQDN (what is available in ${rudder.node.hostname} but just the hostname. Rudder doesn't provide that.
The difficulty arise when we wonder what exactly we want to provide, because hostname is complicated (result of what command/info, for each OS).
We may want to provide that value for variable ${rudder.node.shortHostname} (replaced in directive) and/or ${node.inventory[shortHostname]} (not replaced in directive).
Note: for rudder agent on linux/unix,we have at agent run time only the following variables available:
- sys.host: kernel hostname,
- sys.fqhost: node FQDN
- sys.uqhost: first part of node FQDN
Also, inventory already contains one hostname (not sure which) in <Hardware>/<Name>
