Title: AWS: Allow configurable piggyback names
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 2.2.0i1
When creating a piggyback host for an EC2 instance, <tt>agent_aws</tt> uses
the format
C+:
{Private IPv4 address}-{region}-{Instance ID}
C-:
This format guarantees that the piggback name is always unique, even when instances are
restarted
and could potentially switch their IP address. However, in practice this problem can be
neglected
and only using the Private IP DNS name as a piggyback name is safe. With this werk, the
option
<tt>Piggyback names</tt> in the rule <tt>Amazon Web Services
(AWS)</tt> allows you to configure how
piggyback hosts are named.
Note, that if a host changes it's name, then all historical data is lost.
