Many of my servers have an arbitrary host name and a meaningful DNS
alias service name. It is impractical for cfagent to figure out all the
aliases that map back to a particular hostname, but checking a single
DNS alias should not be bad.
I would like something like this (maybe with a better function name):
classes:
loghost_dns_alias = ( DNSAlias(loghost) )
Currently I use nasty code like this:
shellcommands:
any::
# Figure out if I am the loghost.
"/bin/test `hostname` = `host loghost|perl
-e'${dollar}_=<>;s/.*alias for (.*)\./${dollar}1/;print'`"
define=loghost
loghost::
"/do/stuff"
Just an idea.
Or if anyone has a better idea for how to accomplish the same thing...
Best,
Brendan
