Hi Jay,

Firstly, we appreciate you using our APIs and reporting this issue. The engineering team responsible for this API investigated it and reported back that although this behavior is surprising, it is as we designed it to work. To implement this function, we use a search technology where we maintain two separate indexes for endpoint hostnames: one that allows a fast prefix match, and another that allows searching for substrings up to 10 characters long. This gives us a good balance between performance and usability. However, this means that if the “hostnameContains” value is longer than 10, only the first 10 characters will be used for a match. We will update our documentation to make that clearer.

Thanks,

Ram

Please note it appears all search fields are limited by this 10 character limit. If you are using the API to help find a specific device with a name longer than 10characters you will have to address client side in your script/code. Hope this helps someone else!

Respectfully,
Jay
