Machine view should show dns-name

[Adam Collard]

When looking at machine view, at least on a MAAS environment, I should be able to see which node it's on. Machine numbers from Juju mean nothing to me, but I know what a machine is by it's name.

Hmm, but does juju know the dns name to fill in there?

I guess we can see what can be done for maas. I don't think most providers we want this but maas with dns does make some sense.

It does, dns-name is the field from the status command, and is reflected in
the API in machine change Addresses entry with Scope=public, Type=hostname

I see this is assigned as low priority and at least for maas users I have to disagree. This makes it absolutely terrible to use maas with juju because I have no idea what any specific machine is. Having to drop to the command line just to see what machine is what is horrible to have to do.
