+
+Icinga 2 requires the `NodeName` [constant](17-language-reference.md#constants) in various places to run.
+This includes loading the TLS certificates, setting the proper check source,
+and so on.
+
+Typically the Windows setup wizard and also the CLI commands populate the [constants.conf](04-configuring-icinga-2.md#constants-conf)
+file with the auto-detected or user-provided FQDN/Common Name.
+
+If this constant is not set during startup, Icinga will try to resolve the
+FQDN, if that fails, fetch the hostname. If everything fails, it logs
+an error and sets this to `localhost`. This results in undefined behaviour
+if ignored by the admin.
+
+Querying the DNS when not reachable is CPU consuming, and may look like Icinga
+is doing lots of checks, etc. but actually really is just starting up.
+
+In order to fix this, edit the `constants.conf` file and populate
+the `NodeName` constant with the FQDN. Ensure this is the same value
+as the local endpoint object name.
