Copy and Paste Issues

Post by ssoliveira »

Good afternoon,

The number of people managing our nagios xi has increased a lot, and with that we start to have standardization issues.

We found that many people register services in lowercase letters.
Other operators rerun discovery routines on the same host; but filling the name in upper case.

This has created a lot of inconsistency, and duplicity.

We also find that when people copy the name of Excel services or hosts; that certain problems occur; like leaving a blank space before the host name.

Would it be possible to implement a normalization in the input fields in future versions?
Performing Trim and LowerCase for example.

Thank you.

Hi @ssoliveira,

It looks like the white space is removed for the host field, but the associated services are not. I will go ahead file a bug report for this issue.

Thank you.
