Package: munin Version: 1.4.5-1 Severity: wishlist A node stanza in munin.conf requires an address parameter. Since I assume that most people will name their nodes according to the nodes' FQDNs, this introduces redundancy, e.g.
[swan.madduck.net]
address swan.madduck.net
Might I suggest that the address parameter became optional and that
in its absence, the node's name is treated as a FQDN?
If the node is specified with a group name, then one could use the
following heuristics:
[$Group;$Node]
if $Node.contains('.') && resolve($Node) {
use($Node)
}
elif $Group.containts('.') && resolve($Node.$Group) {
use($Node.$Group)
}
elif resolve($Node) {
# relative names might well work but should be tried last
use($Node)
}
