Display tag names for Hosts in the Infrastructure view

We have 2 zones defined with each zones having 20 servers for production and integration environments.

Since there is no option to enable tag as display names for hosts on zones, its difficult to identify the application servers.

It would be good to have some ways to configure label/tag which can be displayed for the hosts in the zones.

    Hi Vinay,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Is the request to have selected tags show up as names for servers in each zone?
    Would you like to configure which ones to show up as there can be multiple tags associated with each host entity?
    Broadly, it would be helpful to understand why you would prefer this approach, is it just to identify servers in each zone? Are you utilizing comparison table for this ask?

    Kind regards,
    Paras Kampasi
