hostname garbage(space or blank) on the search line

[himang2c]

The environment is Deployment Server and Client configuration.
We can see several hosts. but when host field is selected,
We can see hostname garbage(space or blank ) on the Search line.

ex) index=ABC host="ABCDEF " <-- one space
but, We can see if this like
index=ABC host="ABCDEF*" <-- if put *

so, We can not have any other search from the search line.

what is solution ?

Maybe you should try regex:

index=ABC host=ABCDEF\s

or

index=ABC host=ABCDEF?

See your Splunk Quick Reference Guide for more on RegEx.
