Hello Team,

Currently, our HMC has been configured with callhome feature and we do receive alerts whenever there is an issue/event generated within HMC for any partitions.

So, we need your help on the below.
Whenever the event generates, it should contain the System FQDN (hmc02.emea.vorwerk.org) in the body of the event instead of the short name (hmc02). Sample event type shown below for your reference.

Sample event:-
