I'm not sure what it is that you object to. You can use a wildcard or exact search or regular _expression_. It comes back with the label AND the object name in every submap in which the things that meet the criteria appear. You pick the one you want to open. If there is only one, the quickfind will take you straight there. I usually find it best to open the segment submap from that list. If you don't like where you end up, you can use the 'Show in' function on the right mouse button to see other submaps for just that node. If you use the Regular _expression_ option, you can enter things like abcrtr_[A|B]\.* It is case sensitive. Cordially, Leslie A.

Checking over the Web Console the only options I haev for searching by are Object Name IP Address or Hostname. Those are the only three subjects I can search by. Chris Petrina
Well, I'm not in front of a system right now. Try that little pulldown where it says what to search by and see if there is something else. It might be referred to as something other than label. Also , I think the wildcarding can do a little more than just *. Set it to wildcard and try things like regular expressions to limit your search . I'm thinking like label\.*com$ to exclude the interfaces, etc. Cordially, Leslie A. Clark IBM Global Services - Systems Mgmt & Networking Detroit
I understand the concept of this sincel the label does not necessarily ahve to be unique, but the object sleection name does. My Quesiton I guess then would be can I search by label. This is coming from searching in the Web Console. We want to search for a device and we give it the label name in the search bar in the Web Console and it does not return the device. By adding a * to the end as a wildcard will give any device with that begin label name. Which could be many devices. We are unable to tell without going through the maps and finding the actual object what its selection name is. Is this just the way it was designed, do we just need to keep using the wildcard (*) or is there a way to search by label? Thank you Chris Petrina
No. It will use the short name (up to the first dot) for the label, but the Selection Name will be the resolved name, whatever that is. The way to change this is to enter all names in /etc/hosts. You should not do this if it is a very long list, as it becomes a performance problem as well as an administrative burden. Cordially, Leslie A.

Is there anywhere in NV to tell it to not use the suffix for fully qualified names. We check our /etc/hosts file first for a device if it is not there, then we say go check the DNS server. When it finds it in the DNS server it uses the fully qualified name. Anyway to suppress the domain suffix in NV? -Chris Petrina ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service._______________________________________________________________ This electronic message contains information from MeadWestvaco Corporation or subsidiary companies, which may be confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
