4.10.1 Get host name
Function
Acquires the host name of the server that corresponds to a specified IP address, based on information registered in the target server.
This plugin assumes the following servers:
• Execution target server
This server executes the plugin, queries the DNS server, and retrieves information in the hosts file.
• Retrieval target server
This is the server whose host name is to be acquired from the IP address
If a DNS server is registered on the execution target server, the plugin queries the DNS server about the host name of the retrieval target server. If the query to the DNS server fails, the plugin acquires the host name of the retrieval target server from the hosts file on the execution target server.
Use situation
This plugin enables you to reduce the number of input properties in a service template that requires the IP address and host name of the target server.
