Hostname (HostnameGenerator)

The Hostname generator generates random host names, based on the English language.

Link object structure

The Hostname generator does not support linking. It can be either self-consistent or consistent with another column. You cannot configure differential privacy.

The metadata object is populated from the BaseMetadata object.

There is no generator-specific configuration.

{
  "schema": "string",
  "table": "string",
  "column": "string",
  "dataType": "string"  //MongoDB only
  "metadata": {
    "presetId": "string",
    "generatorId": "HostnameGenerator",
    "isConsistent": boolean,
    "consistencyColumn": "string",
    "encryptionProcessor": "x-on", //To use configured Structural data encryption
    "customValueProcessor": "string"  //If custom value processor assigned
  }
}

Example replacement

In the following example replacement for the Hostname generator, consistency is disabled.

{
  "name": "hostname",
  "schema": "public",
  "table": "events",
  "links": [
    {
      "schema": "public",
      "table": "events",
      "column": "hostname",
      "metadata": {
        "presetId": "HostnameGenerator",
        "generatorId": "HostnameGenerator",
        "isConsistent": false
      }
    }
  ]
}
