[monit] Monit 5.0.2 question

[David Paper]

Greetings,

Congrats on getting 5.0 released!  I've got 5.0.2 running and have  
finally noticed something that has probably been there all along.

Using the mail-format specifications from the monit.html documentation:

 mail-format {
      from: address@hidden
   subject: $SERVICE $EVENT at $DATE
   message: Monit $ACTION $SERVICE at $DATE on $HOST: $DESCRIPTION.
            Yours sincerely,
            monit
 }

$HOST appears to be the short name that the host is known by.  This  
presents a problem when there are two hosts that have identical short  
names, but different subdomains like:

foo07.bar.example.com
foo07.baz.example.com

On SuSE linux, 'hostname' returns just foo07.  'hostname -f' returns  
the fully qualified domain name.

Is it possible to tell monit in the monitrc file either to use the  
FQDN of the host, or to specify what the FQDN is?

Thanks!
