fqdn instead of hostname

[pmacdougall]

For our purposes, I had to change the metadata host value from 'node.hostname' to 'node.fqdn'.

With just hostname we only get the short hostname in Splunk. In our case we have multiple hosts with the same hostname in different domains, so knowing that "foo" failed to converge doesn't help, we need to know that "foo.bar.example.com" failed.

Not sure if this can be easily changed for everyone or if it will affect existing users negatively. Or could it be an attribute added to the splunk_handler cookbook to toggle hostname or fqdn usage.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll see what I can do to integrate this change for others.
