 > I like the idea of having the prelude-manager nomalize the addresses
 because you are right I've looked through my logs and found cfengine also
 does this too. the only reservation I have is ([A-Fa-f\d:\.]+) should be
 used instead of (\S+) followed by an identical rule using (\S+) but maps
 to source(0).node.name because I have seen implementations in the past
 that use hostnames where avalable instead of addresses this way we can
 catch the ones that match ip addresses first and any thing that does not
 match an ip address can be cought by the second rule as a hostname

 The normalize plugin for Prelude-Manager should be able to handle this,
 and handle it in a more consistent manner than a bunch of different rules.
 The more rules you make for the end-sensors, the more complex the ruleset
 becomes and the more difficult it is to maintain.  If, instead, you let
 Prelude-Manager handle this, you get a more comprehensive solution that
 takes into account all of the sensors (including sensors that haven't even
 been written yet), instead of a single sensor at a time.
