First of all Thank You to all who have created and contributed to Icinga.
I'm just getting here and hope to be helpful in the future.
I have used Nagios for many years in smaller deployments and in the past I
have never had to set the address property in a host definition. I have
always
depended on DNS to resolve the address. I have found that all of the
command
definitions in Icinga2 use the address rather then the hostname.
I was wondering if someone was aware of the thinking behind this decision.
Please note that I am NOT QUESTIONING the decision. I am just interested
in the rationale behind it. I do my best not to hard code ip addresses
anywhere but in DNS zone files and was wondering if I was missing some
requirement of Icinga to have the addresses in the config files.
TIA
Alan
