Description

Current way of using a MAC address to generate a hostname for a discovered host poses some limitations during life-cycle of the machine. For example, a MB or NIC card replacement would cause MAC addresses to be updated causing a hostname change as well. If there's an ability to specify a fact name in discovery plug-in just like discovery_bootif to override the default using macaddress, it'll provide an easy way for people like to use say "serialnumber" fact in a hostname or something like that.
