Host agents key their identity on the machine-derived agent ID, so MSP template deployments that clone /etc/machine-id fold two physical machines at different sites into one host row whose reports overwrite each other (hostname, report IP, and interfaces flapping between sites), silently poisoning node-agent linking. Mirror the Docker host identity-collapse doctrine (#1584) for host report ingest: track hostname and report-IP revisits per resolved agent identity inside the monitoring-owned flap window, publish an active conflict as models.Host.IdentityConflict through unified resources, and warn on the Machines page. The report IP is tracked alongside the hostname because template fleets often reuse hostnames across sites (pve01 at two customers), leaving the address as the only field that betrays the clone. A one-time hostname rename never revisits and is not flagged; the conflict clears on its own once only one machine keeps reporting for the window.
