Why am I not able to set “hostname” and “hostid” tags?
The “hostname” and “hostid” information is always retrieved from the “hostname” and “hostid” commands. To maintain data consistency, sneep no longer allows users to set these tags, which can and did create confusing and conflicting situations. If sneep sees that tags exist, they are erased and further requests for the values of these tags are satisfied using the appropriate commands.
