I was able to finally render a fisheye Karma image sequence on our Qube farm. Yay!
however, the renders are flickering and I'm wondering if the issue is host-specific.
A useful diagnostic would be able to burn the name of the Linux hostname on each frame.
Is there a way to get the Linux hostname from within Houdini? e.g. access an environment variable.
Thanks

The best solution is probably to use Python to get the host name: https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.gethostname [docs.python.org]

On a render manager like qube, isn't there already a way to get that information for each frame?

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Yes, but it would be more convenient to be able to step through frames of the video and see the hostname in the image.
As opposed to cross-referencing each frame to logs from Qube.
