It isn't reading /etc/hosts directly, but this is a bug we've fixed
for the next release. In the meantime, you can workaround by doing
one of the following:
add the fqdn to your /etc/hosts:
192.168.3.15 idc-server-6 server-6 server-6.vantixweb.com
Or add the following property to ~/.hq/agent.properties or ./
agent.properties:
platform.fqdn=server-6.vantixweb.com
