Subject: [PATCH proxmox-ve-rs v3 08/45] ve-config: sdn: microseg: add name regex matcher
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 09:54:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027085527.702738-9-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027085527.702738-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com>
Assign groups to the NICs of every guest whose name matches a regular
expression. Like guest tags, the names come from the guest inventory
and never enter the running config. A rename takes effect the next
time the NICs are resolved. The expression has to be ASCII, like the
names it is matched against.
A query tells whether renaming a guest changes which expressions match
its name. It uses the same regex engine as the matcher, so a caller
does not have to match the expressions in a dialect of its own.
