…424) What I did: I updated device_metadata_handler in hostcfgd so that hostname, timezone, and rsyslog handling run only when the CONFIG_DB notification is for the localhost row. For any other DEVICE_METADATA key (for example bmc), the handler logs once at INFO and returns without calling hostname_update, timezone_update, or rsyslog_config. Why I did it: DEVICE_METADATA can have multiple keys; host settings live under localhost, while BMC fields live under bmc. The handler used to ignore the row key and always ran hostname logic, so bmc updates passed a dict without hostname, which produced ERR (“Hostname was not updated: Empty not allowed”). How to verify Change DEVICE_METADATA|bmc and confirm no "ERR Empty not allowed" in syslog. Signed-off-by: Sonic Build Admin <sonicbld@microsoft.com>
