Description

though it is referenced a few times in the template writing page at "http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/templatewriting", the interface object is not fully described in the table or in the documentation pages.

please include all members of the interface object in the table of available variables (i.e. @host.interface.ip, @host.interface.subnet, etc).

the subnet object is already well represented in this way in the wiki, but it is not made clear that it is an object itself and gets passed around except in the "notes" at the end.

it appears that interfaces or ips can have a "DNS Name" and FQDN (created from either subnet.domain or interface.domain?) in foreman 1.9.x, and we would like to also see where those are stored. we are assuming it is stored in the interface object but finding no reference in the documentation or wiki.

This is interface.name.

I'll leave this open, but would encourage you to ask questions on the foreman-users list or #theforeman IRC where you'll get a larger audience, then please do update the wiki as you find things out.
