default hostname selector should fallback to privateIpAddress

[Jinkxed]

Hey,

So I'm getting all this working and noticed that anything that requires SSH to a remote node, the rundeck server seems to using its own local ip instead. I think maybe it's not mapping the privateipaddress correctly for the remote node?

Example:

Executing command on node: example-node-1234, NodeEntryImpl{tags=[pony, staging, worker, running], attributes={tags=ec2, osFamily=unix, osArch=x86_64, state=running, instanceId=i-b62a5032, editUrl=https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home#s=Instances&selectInstance=${node.instanceId}, hostname=, privateDnsName=ip-10-0-11-25.ec2.internal, sshport=22, privateIpAddress=10.0.11.25, username=test, description=EC2 node instance, nodename=example-node-1234, osName=Linux}, project='null'}
15:29:42    example-node-1234    1. Copying manage_applications.sh to the remote server @ /tmp/manage_applications.sh   [workflow] beginExecuteNodeStep(example-node-1234): NodeDispatch: StepExecutionItem{type='NodeDispatch', keepgoingOnSuccess=false, hasFailureHandler=false}
15:29:42            Begin copy 1173 bytes to node example-node-1234: /var/lib/rundeck/repos/rundeck/manage_applications.sh -> /tmp/manage_applications.sh
15:29:42            Using ssh keyfile: /var/lib/rundeck/.ssh/id_rsa
15:29:42            copying file: '/var/lib/rundeck/repos/rundeck/manage_applications.sh' to: 'example-node-1234:/tmp/manage_applications.sh'
15:29:42            Using private key file: /var/lib/rundeck/.ssh/id_rsa
15:29:42            Set timeout to 0
15:29:42            Connecting to :22  <--- Is this supposed to have an ipaddress?
15:29:42            Connecting to  port 22
15:29:42            Connection established

Nevermind I found the issue. This really should be noted in the documentation somewhere.

If you want to use the privateIPaddress of your ec2 instances, add this to your mapping file or just copy and paste the default and change:

hostname.selector=privateIpAddress

Thank you! This definitely should be highlighted in documentation.

I am going to re-open this and rename. I think the default mapping should also include the privateIpAddress as a fallback.

I have hostname.selector=privateDnsName in mapping params, but when I search for nodes under command section, I get 2 hostnames - one is null and other other one is the private dns. Since one is coming as null, I am unable to execute the query . Please help.
