Is this a question, statement, or request?

what is your request, to have trmm shorten the hostname? I think instead you should change the hostname on the mac that way trmm will report whatever you have set

By default mac seems to append .local or often times the search domain to the hostname.

My request is to show only the hostname and not the FQDN that the OS reports. So something like

hostname = hostname.split(".")[0]

It's not TRMMs job to arbitrarily change hostnames otherwise we couldn't rely on TRMM collecting and reporting accurate data.

I think the .local is part of macs goofy smb stack and bonjours advertising so they're DNS compliant and Dnsmasq can handle name resolution better.

Fix the Mac.

So who is going to open a ticket with Apple to fix this? :)
