Hello !

The optional filter input is a simple input text box which is designed to be used for filtering server names available upon selection.

It acts as a implicit "AND" boolean condition in addition with the "host" multiselect / dropdown forms, such that the query will be defined as:

<query> host=$host-filter$ $host$ 

In its design, the purpose is having a free text filter which you can use depending on the server naming convention, let's say that you use "lp*" for Linux Production servers, using this in the free form filter would populate the host form with only the relevant servers.

I will think about that and check how it could be improved without adding too much complexity in the design of the interfaces 😉

Kind regards,

Guilhem
