Search A Host Without Using FQDN

  • 1.  Search A Host Without Using FQDN

    Posted Aug 06, 2013 11:49 AM

    Recently upgraded AMP from 7.6 to 7.71 then 7.7.3 with CentOS upgraded to 6.  When I was at 7.6, I can search for a host with a partial name, but the current 7.7.3, a host must be searched with a FQDN.

     

    For example: for a host name abc12345.domain.org, if I search for abc12345 it will not work, I must search for “abc12345.domain.org”

     

    Any changes I can do to help this? It will help us a lot.

     

    Regards,

    You'll want to check:

    1. User preferred search method

    Home -> User Info tab -> Search Preferences box

    2. Global preferred search method

    AMP Setup -> General tab -> Search Preferences box

    Note that if you're using 'Exact Match' then it would require the full hostname.  Non-exact matches allow partial match.

    Rob,

     

    Thanks for the reply.  Here what I did:

    In User info ->Search preferences -> search method: "Use system defaults" (no change)

    Amp setup -> General -> Search Method: chaged from “Active + historical clients (exact match)”
     to “Active + historical clients”, (also tried with "Active + historical clients + all categories")

     

    Then I logged out, logged back in, but no help, same problem: empty when searched for nerh123440, but it worked if search for "nerh123440.btnrh.boystown.org"

    I should not say it is not working because when I put in the host name on the search box, if I clicked the search icon (the circle in the search box) it showed empty, but if I just simply hit ENTER, it works !!!

    That's definitely strange behavior.  Can you open a support case so they can gather more information?  I'm currently not seeing the same behavior on our demo server.

    Actually, it's not strange behavior.

     

    The 'magnifying glass' only performs the quick search functionality.  In order for quick search to be fast, it expects that the search term is at the beginning of the line.  So 'nerh' would not be expected to show any clients on quick search.  Though a search for 'host' would be expected to bring up the clients in quick search.

     

    Keep in mind that when you hit enter, you're performing the search based on user preference.  Per user, the initial preference is by that particular user which is Home -> User Info -> search method.  If that setting is set to system default, then it's using AMP Setup -> General -> search method.
