Michael,
I think you mean "compute_node hostname" as 'hypervisor_hostname' field in the
'compute_node' table.
What do you mean by "service hostname"?
I don't see such field in the 'service' table in the database.
Is it in some other table?
Or do you suggest adding 'service_hostname' field in the 'service' table?
Thanks,
David
