When connected to OpenStack Undercloud environments as an Infrastructure Provider, why does CloudForms show only UUID's or IPv4 addresses instead of hostnames in the UI, API, or in generated reports?

Issue

  • When using CloudForms to connect to OpenStack Undercloud/Director as an Infrastructure Provider, why do hosts have a name that is either a long string UUID such as c411ca29-793a-4b4c-979a-ee04096f2e2a or an IP address such as 10.10.2.20 as the hostname for the node?

Environment

  • CloudForms 3.0 and above
  • CloudForms 4.0 and above
  • Red Hat OpenStack Platform
  • OpenStack Director/Undercloud
