puppet node hostname

Question

I\'m using puppet to configure servers. I want to print current machine (node) name in *.erb template. There is hostname variable, but this holds puppetmaster hostname.

Answer 1

Yes to all the above; you may also find the fqdn variable useful, depending on what you're up to.

If you DO find yourself needing the puppet master server's info in a template, you can use the variables servername, serverip, and serverversion (From the Puppet docs).
