What does Display Name do?

Post by snapon_admin »

In the host management screen there's a "Display Name" field that doesn't seem to do anything. I clicked on the info for it and saw this:
Note: The current CGIs do not use this option, although future versions of the web interface will.
I got the same thing in XI2014. Does this option just not currently do anything? And if so, when will it be used?

Correct.

No idea really. You are welcome to poke the devs by opening up a bug report/feature request at: tracker.nagios.com
