RegEx for "Host labels" in Filters

26 votes

At Filter the possibility to fill "Host labels" with RegEx to search/filter with it. Currently, there is still this error message

"Labels need to be in the format [KEY]:[VALUE]. For example os:windows."

Here it would be great if you could search/filter e.g. "os:*" or "*win*".

... and for the "Service labels" to. Because at the end of the day it makes no sense to implement this for only one half of the lab ;-)

... and add a negate option to get all Host/Services that do not match a specific value like for example get all not "cmk/os_family:windows".

Lars, isn't this the top-rated feature of AND/OR/NOT for labels in filters

You're right. But it depends on how it's implemented in the end.

Hi Christian, how important is regex for you, if you have a flexible way to build filters as you can see in this ticket

Is there still a use case for it? Regex are like an OR clause
