Name-aliases for displaying nodes

[hertell]

I have bunch of nodes that are named in a "technical way" as serverXX.domain.tld. This makes it hard to pick the right customer's server if you need do some adjustments to their hiera-data.

I would like to suggest that hdm could also use eg. the hostname or a specfic hiera value when selecting nodes.

@hertell Providing additional names in the node list will confuse other people.
How about the following idea:

• after selecting a node there is an additional text element, which can show node facts or trusted facts (facts.networking.fqdn, facts.networking.ip, trusted.extension.pp_role, ...) from the selected node

This will give you additional information if the right node was selected.

Possible entries can be:

• trusted.extension.pp_role
• facts.networking.fqdn

Example for hdm.yaml config file:

  additional_node_info:
    - facts.networking.fqdn
    - trusted.extensions.pp_role

When additional_node_info is NOT set, the test will not be shown.
If a fact or trusted fact does not provide data (or does not exist) we will show an empty value.
