[jira] [Created] (FLUME-1039) Vlingo physical node name not the same as hostname output (extra . in name) which makes it hard to auto-install

Vlingo physical node name not the same as hostname output (extra . in name) which makes it hard to auto-install
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FLUME-1039
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1039
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Docs, Node
    Affects Versions: v0.9.4
         Environment: CentOS Linux
            Reporter: Thomas Andrews


When we installed a node on a host name app16-perf.qa.ourcompany.com, Flume decided the node name was "app16-perf.qa..ourcompany.com".  Note the extra period.  We are completely unclear why this happened.

Even worse, however, is that it is unclear in the documentation how to override the default physical node name in the configuration.  Where does that go, exactly?

Without either a fix to this (so that the default physical node name is precisely as the documentation says it is, the output of the "hostname" command) or a way to configure this parameter in the flume-site.xml file, we are kind of hosed with auto-deploying flume agents on our servers.

It's possible I missed something in the documentation - I looked for the word "hostname" and did not find anything covering this in the User Guide.

[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-1039) Vlingo physical node name not the same as hostname output (extra . in name) which makes it hard to auto-install

Thomas Andrews commented on FLUME-1039:
---------------------------------------

The cause of this problem was a bad entry in "/etc/hosts". 

However, the docs say that the default physical node name is the same as the output of "hostname," and "hostname" was not returning the broken host name.
