PVE not displaying the full hostname?

Certainly I can't be the only person running into this. I have several OpenVZ containers running (www.website1.com, www.website2.com, etc) and on the OpenVZ screen all I see for the hostname is the 'www' part, is there some way to enable PVE to display the whole name? It makes it very difficult to try to figure out which virtual server I want to work with when they are all named the same thing...
 
Thats why we use unique VMIDs. The FQDN is too long to display in the GUI.

Right, which is great if you know that 208234 is a web server and 199128 is a dns server and 204152 is your database server for customer X...

I manage hundreds of servers, yes - I have a list of domain names to container ID's, it's just very inconvenient... Certainly you could make something smaller and display even a portion of the FQDN... Or at the very least make it so when I hover over the list it displays the FQDN.

If I am the only one having this problem, then fine - but I can't believe that, unless I'm doing something seriously wrong.

I guess we can make 'status' and 'uptime' a bit smaller, and then display the FQDN.

Just added this to our TODO list.
