Have your TEC guy write a very small rule (something like the following)
to strip out the end of the fqdn (though - are you SURE you don't need it
later? - samed named servers perhaps?)
reception_action: strip_fqdn: (
atompart( _hostname, '.', _start, _len1 ),
_len is _start - 1,
atompart( _hostname, _chop_host, 1, _len ),
set_global_var( 'SMALLHOSTNAME', 'smallhostname',
_chop_host)
bo_set_slotval(_event,hostname, _chop_host),
),

Subject: [NV-L] TEC and Hostname
Hello all,
I'm having the TEC group wondering if there is a way to use the short name
instead of the fully qualified name on events received from Netview (as
shown in the below)
OV_IF_Down;
hostname=<fully qualified name>
My initial response is that NetView is only reporting what is in the DNS.
The only way I see solving the problem is using the /etc/hosts file but
this
is really not a viable option when your talking about a large number of
devices.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
Thanks,
Scott
