Search for Machines by Third Letter in ControlUp Console

It is possible to search for machine name based on the third letter on ControlUp’s Management Console by using a wildcard or a regular expression. This isn’t documented behavior but instead an consequence of the UI element used. The example of using ^.{4}82 to match machines with characters 5 and 6 set as 82 is given.

Hey everyone, a question, is there anyway to search machine name based only on the third letter? (Management Console)

I haven’t tried this before, but if you put a * in the beginning then the rest

Like… *name

you don’t even need a wildcard but I am not sure if you can specify the position

Note that this is not documented behavior. So this may change over time or might not work entirely as expected.

But you can use some regular expressions in the search field. For example, if I use ^.{4}82 to match machines where character 5 and 6 are 82

As I mentioned. This isn’t documented behavior. It is likely an consequence of the UI element used instead of explicitly designed behavior
