Hello :-)
I have inherited a GLPI, Fusioninventory Agent and Plugin setup. In GLPI's
Assets >
Computers, some of the Domain column is populated and some is not.
Auditing a selection of computers running Fusioninventory Agent shows no
apparent link between
Fusioninventory Agent versions, places the domain name could be taken from and
what GLPI displays:
+---------+---------------+---------+-----------------+---------+--------+-------------+------------+
| | | | | | |
| Canonical |
| Domain | | | | | |
Domain in | /etc/hosts |
| in GLPI | Computer | OS | Repo | Version | Run by |
resolv.conf | 127.0.1.1 |

+---------+---------------+---------+-----------------+---------+--------+-------------+------------+
In case that table is line-wrapped, there is a copy at
http://pastebin.com/M1pQJpKL
Table notes:
* "Domain in GLPI": Shows if GLPI's Assets > Computers > Domain column is
populated.
* "Domain in resolv.conf": having a "search" line with the domain is a
workaround.
* "Canonical /etc/hosts 127.0.1.1" is explained below.
Examining Fusioninventory Agent's perl suggests (I am not a perl programmer)
that it uses the hostname
function from the Sys::Hostname module. Its documentation
(http://search.cpan.org/~scott/Sys-Hostname-Long-1.5/lib/Sys/Hostname/Long.pm)
says:
==== quote begins ====
Most unix systems have trouble working out the fully qualified domain name as
it to be configured
somewhere in the system correctly. For example in most linux systems (debian,
?) the fully qualified name
should be the first entry next to the ip number in /etc/hosts
192.168.0.1 fred.somwhere.special fred
If it is the other way around, it will fail.
==== quote ends ====
Hence the "Canonical /etc/hosts 127.0.1.1" table column.
Insofar as Fusioninventory Agent uses a perl module to get the domain name,
this is not a Fusioninventory
Agent problem but maybe readers of this list have found a solution.
