hostname changed by Gluu installer

After running the installer on a pair of hosts for a cluster I noticed that both servers now report their hostname as being that of the cluster instead of their individual names. For example: - server1.example.com - first host's name - server2.example.com - second hosts's name - gluu.example.com - cluster address Now server1 and server2 both claim to be gluu... this is causing problems and I was wondering how to change it back. Thanks!

Yes, this happens. You can probably edit the gluu server startup script to change the behavior if it's really bothering you. Also, 2.4.4 is being released in 2, days and there might be a fix for this.

It is an issue because it messes with some of the settings our monitoring uses and seemed to effect the domain binding of the box. All of our host info is managed via Puppet so anything that changes that introduces unexpected change. Thanks for the 2.4.4 heads up, I think I'll wait and see what it does since you mentioned there might be a fix there.

Zamil, Can we check if it's covered in recently released 2.4.4?

I am doing a fresh 2.4.4 setup today and will post back about if this corrects my issue or not. Thanks!

By default it still seems to change things... can you elaborate on the "fix" that is part of this newest release?

Thanks for your testing, Gene. I got a two results for two versions... for Ubuntu; it's same like before but for CentOS/RHEL7.. the host's hostname is intact. Wanna give a shot with CentOS/RHEL7?

Certainly! CentOS is my target platform anyhow so that will be a good test for me. I'll give it a go today.

I just tested on CentOS 7 and it does seem that the hostname is being left alone. Thank you very much for helping me get through this issue! I believe we can mark my issue as resolved thought I would like to know when the same is true for Ubuntu.

For RHEL6.8, 2-4-4 changes the hostname to the LB name used in the install.
