Hostname configuration error

If you get the following error in Skedler console or in skedler.log,

[xx:xx:xx] [ INFO][skedler] - *****Checking hostname config*****

[xx:xx:xx] [ INFO][skedler] - Please wait ..................

[xx:xx:xx] [ERROR][skedler] - Configuration Error - Please check hostname configuration as given in install guide, hostname :  guidanz-kavi


Follow the steps to check for hostname configuration,

Configure the hostname as below:

• Check your hostname by giving this command 

              $> hostname

in reporting.yml the host parameter is the host in which skedler binds.

• If the host is configured as 127.0.0.1 then make sure you have an entry in /etc/hosts as mentioned below

              127.0.0.1 localhost

Note: if you are binding skedler to localhost you can't access it from outside.

• If the host in reporting.yml for Skedler Reports or alertconfig.yml for Skedler Alerts is configured as 0.0.0.0 (bind to any ip) or your server's ip then the entry in hosts file (/etc/hosts) should be,

              <ipaddress> <hostname>

and reboot the machine

NOTE:  If you are using any proxy server add your hostname to a no_proxy list in the file /etc/environment add the following line,

no_proxy="<ipaddress>,<hostname>"
