Hey all, For anyone wondering why for some nodes you get hostname and for others hostname.domain or IP address, it's all about the node's /etc/hosts file.
Below is a list of possible entries in your node's /etc/hosts file, and how its name would appear in Ganglia: 192.168.0.1 host.domain host ==> host.domain 192.168.0.1 host host.domain ==> host 192.168.0.1 host ==> host 192.168.0.1 ==> IP Again, this is determined on per-node basis, assuming you have "files" as the first option of the "hosts:" line in your /etc/nsswitch.conf. If you have "nis" set as first, it's probably determined by the naming order there (though the same rules stated above should apply). Same goes for "dns" being first. Hope this helps... Cheers, Alex
