Bug #7015
Updated by François ARMAND almost 9 years ago
We introduced a change in 3.1 that made the FQDN attribute in inventory mandatory. The reason for that was that the attribute we were relying upon in 3.0 and before (HOSTNAME ?) was sometime badly filled, and the value was not the real fqdn but only the hostname, which proved to lead to errors afterward. However, in some cases the FQDN attribute it may be empty due to bad behaviour of the perl command used by fusion inventory to find it. So we have two cases to manage: - correct the bug at fusion inventory level empty, so that on the long run, we can effectivelly rely only on FQDN, - find a way need to be able to have a Rudder 3.1 server with nodes on Rudder < 3.1 - so actually, use something else than FQDN when that attribute is empty, most likelly what accept them nonetheless, while we were using until 3.1 (even if it is sometime filled with a bad value, are sure that will greatly reduce all agent have the total pourcentage of error compared to pre-3.1 versions). proper value.
