In fact, it makes perfect sense, and I am intimately familiar with both. That said, last time I tried that it didn't work - I'm not so stupid as to not think to try a simple wildcard :-). On the other hand, I'm running 3.0.6, as that is what is distributed with the stable version of OpenBSD. Perhaps this is something that was fixed in 3.1 or 3.2? I seem to recall reading something about a new web interface. So my point stands that this is MY biggest gripe with the web interface. If it's already been fixed, awesome! :-)</div><div><br><div><div>On Nov 24, 2009, at 11:48 AM, shadih rahman wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">This is not an issue. nagios search bar does regular expression search. do ffs-* in your box and it will result in all the hosts. <br><br>Nagios is a monitoring tool.

The select box is practically useless. For example, I have a bunch of hosts named ffs-<whatever>, but if I type in ffs- to the search box, I only get one result.
