| Description |
Comma separted list of RegEx that will be used to find common parts in host name when auto-grouping CIs on map.
All capturing groups in regex define the common part of host name that will be evaluated in auto-grouping algorithm.
RegEx on top of list has higher priority and executed before the following RegEx in the list.
List format: /regex1/,/regex2/,/regex3/,...
Default value:
/^([\w-]+?)(?:\d+[a-z]?)?$/
Sometimes it's required to logically group elements in regex, but not to include the group in common part of host name.
In such cases use non-capturing group. The syntax is:
(?:<content of group>)
Example in default value:
(?:\d+[a-z]?) |
