Description
the usage of this input is not clear, if its a prefix it should be called hostname prefix, alternatively provide an example in an inline help or link to documentation?
It's actually an ERB template, all our templating help is valid plus we added two more functions: rand and facts_hash to be used.
Here is the text we can show in help baloon or something:
Hostname for provisioned hosts. Domain will be appended automatically. A hostname based on MAC address will be used when left blank. Use ERB templating to access host attributes and facts. Examples:
- myhost-<%= rand(99999) %>
- myhost-<%= @host.facts['bios_vendor'] + '-' + rand(99999) %>
- myhost-<%= @host.hostgroup.name %>
- myhost-<%= @host.discovery_rule.name %>
- myhost-<%= @host.ip.gsub('.','-') + '-' + @host.hostgroup.subnet.name %>
When creating hostname patterns, make sure the resulting host names are unique. Good approach is to use unique information provided by facter (MAC address, BIOS or serial ID).
