#9857
The "Public IP address" field is sometimes set to a "Private IP" on the
following types of Fleet deployments:
- Local deployments.
- Deployments where Fleet is on a private network.
- Deployments where an agent connects to Fleet not via the public
internet.
This PR will prevent a private IP to be set on the `host.public_ip`
field.
And this PR also adds documentation on how Fleet deduces the public IPs
of the devices so that a user can make the changes to fix this.
