In our newer hosts, we are using the standard Puppet node classifier system but we override the node_name/node_name_fact settings on the client so that we can decouple hostnames with hosttypes:
puppet.conf [main] location on clients: > # Use the fact 'puppet_node' as our node classifier rather than the > hostname. > node_name = facter > node_name_fact = puppet_node > > [root@prod-exhibitor1-xyz:~]# facter -p puppet_node > exhibitor_prod The problem we have with this model right now is that when Puppet runs do fail, we get tagmail reports that aren't very useful: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/reports/tagmail.rb#L140 Subject: Puppet Report for exhibitor_prod Is there a setting we're missing somewhere that will fix this and get us the actual hostname of the failed client, or do we need to open a bug to get this fixed? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
