Hi Matt,
Thanks for your comments! An RFE has been written to upstream patch 88b7bc7. Before I submit the code, I think we should fix this bug. I think we can change the parameter “host” to “agent” in the

Please let me know what you think of the proposal.

The variable “host” will be used to call _create_agent_fdb. However function _create_agent_fdb expects variable “agent”:
I think this should be a bug. Could you please help review and comment?
