Description Justin J. Novack 2016-01-07 19:25:10 UTC

Description of problem: 

  The rhn.system macro object does not contain uuid, a critical unique characteristic that is not the hostname.  I would rather not expose the hostname or profile name of the server, I would rather expose a slightly cryptic, yet always-unique uuid.


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add {|rhn.system.uuid|} to any configuration file.
2. Deploy file
3. Witness failure.


Actual results:
  See {| rhn.system.uuid |} within text file.

Expected results:
  See the actual uuid of the server within the text file.

I understand a workaround is to add the UUID to a custom variable.  That is how I'm currently working around this issue, however it is cumbersome to populate and requires me to perform an action every new server.

Justin, please open a ticket with Red Hat Support, to correctly track your request.
