Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Justin Sherrill 2017-03-02 17:00:45 UTC 
Some users want their hosts to be created without a domain name.  This would involve using the 'network.hostname' property instead of hte 'network.fqdn' or 'network.hostname-override' fact

Comment 3 Justin Sherrill 2017-03-02 17:05:56 UTC 
This adds a new setting 'register_hostname_fact' under Administer > Settings > Content that allows the user to specify which subscription manager fact to use for generating the name of the host (in the form of 'network.hostname')

Verified in Satellite 6.2.8 Snap 4

You can now set the "Subscription manager name registration fact" in Administer -> Settings -> Katello. To register a host with the fqdn, use the fact "network.fqdn". To register a host with a short name, use the fact "network.hostname". (see attached)

Steps:
1. Set the registration fact to network.fqdn
2. Changed the hostname on the first system to a short name
   [root@cloud-qe-21 ~]# hostname
   cloud-qe-21.idmqe.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com
   [root@cloud-qe-21 ~]# hostname cloud-qe-21
   [root@cloud-qe-21 ~]# hostname
   cloud-qe-21
   [root@cloud-qe-21 ~]# hostname -f
   cloud-qe-21.idmqe.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com
3. Registered the system to Satellite.
4. Set the registration fact to network.hostname
5. Changed the hostname on the second system to a short name
   [root@yttrium ~]# hostname
   yttrium.idmqe.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com
   [root@yttrium ~]# hostnamectl set-hostname yttrium
   [root@yttrium ~]# hostname
   yttrium
   [root@yttrium ~]# hostname -f
   yttrium.idmqe.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com
6. Registered the system

Results:
The first system was correctly registered with its fqdn, and the second system was correctly registered with its short hostname. I put them in a host collection to be more easily seen. (see attached)
