Hello all,

I'm having the TEC group wondering if there is a way to use the short name
instead of the fully qualified name on events received from Netview (as
shown in the below)

OV_IF_Down;
    hostname=<fully qualified name>

My initial response is that NetView is only reporting what is in the DNS.
The only way I see solving the problem is using the /etc/hosts file but this
is really not a viable option when your talking about a large number of
devices.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Thanks,

Scott
