In this release we’ve updated the hypernode-importer so it displays the importer Help menu if no hostname is provided instead of throwing a ValueError and showing the stacktrace.

Before:

app@s2lrfz-vdloo-magweb-do:~$ 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hypernode-importer", line 9, in 
    load_entry_point('kamikaze3==20171221.170524', 'console_scripts', 'hypernode-importer')()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kamikaze3/importer/commands.py", line 173, in main
    args = parse_arguments()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kamikaze3/importer/commands.py", line 162, in parse_arguments
    raise ValueError("No --host specified, specifying a host is required")
ValueError: No --host specified, specifying a host is required

After:

hypernode-importer: error: No --host specified, specifying a host is required

We have also installed Multitail as requested in this UserVoice suggestion.

Changes will be deployed gradually on all Hypernodes over the course of this week.
