Arguably it could be reasonable default but here we merely inherit upstream defaults. On this instance I do not wish to derive from upstream so you need to convince upstream to change their defaults first. Besides "Hostname" in agent configuration is not a host name but an identifier that is used by zabbix server to check agent through proxy or push active checks. Sometimes using host name as such identifier is a natural thing but in many cases it is desirable to have unique Hostname that is used only by zabbix. For that reason I doubt if Hostname=host_name is a good default in case when we want to use non-host-name IDs in zabbix. Current default helps to distinguish those two and encourages admins to set their own defaults. -- All the best, Dmitry Smirnov GPG key : 4096R/53968D1B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
