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. Additional info:
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.
