hostlist.csv is a CSV-formatted (comma-separated variable) file containing a list of all hosts known to cfengine.
Each line of the file contains the following fields:
| Field number | Contents | Examples (comma-separated) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Host name | nw-k17-login1, nw-syd-cfengine-hub, williams | The network name of the host minus any domain components. |
| 2 | IPv4 address | 10.197.85.13, 129.94.242.33 | The IPv4 address of the host. |
| 3 | Host classes | trusted+physicallabhost, trusted+arm+mondisk+moneth0+vlabserver | A '+'-separated list of host classes of which this host is a member. |
| 4 | Exported file systems | 1+2 | A '+'-separated list of file system identifiers which are exported by this server. This field is empty if the host is not a file server. |
When this file is changed the update_hosts script should be executed to run the host generator scripts which create the various configuration files there from which are then installed by cfengine. E.g., /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname and the automounter configuration files.
