Hi Fred, We've run into this issue in the past, and always got around it by appending a period to $SERVER$ and then taking the LEFT() # of characters up to the first period. If you need the alias, just use what's returned. If you need the FQDN, then append the domain to what's returned.

Old OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.11 (Linux 2.6.18-400.1.1.el5) New OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Linux 3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64) We have the same version of ARS (8.1.02 201408260235) on each server (Once we are on the new hardware we can upgrade). Both servers are pointing to the same database. On the old hardware the $SERVER$ keyword in filters is reporting the short name (i.e. devars01). On the new hardware it is reporting the FQDN (i.e. devars01.myxyz.com). The environment variables and ar.conf are all the same between the servers. Does anyone know what setting I can change to make it report back with the short name?
