Doc Text:	Regular expressions and wildcards can be used in some virt-who configuration parameters With this update, regular expressions and wildcards can be used in the "filter_hosts" and "exclude_hosts" configuration parameters. This enables users of virt-who to maintain a list of hosts to report on with much more ease. By using regular expressions and wildcards to specify which hosts to report on or exclude, the hosts list can be much more concise.	Story Points:	---

virt-who-0.17-9.el7sat.noarch


How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. [root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/virt-who.d/config

[config]
type=<hypervisor_type>            (any)
server=<vcenter/esx host>         (any)
username=<vcenter/esx_username>   (any)
owner=<owner>                     (any)
env=Library                       (any)

filter_hosts=myhost1.abc.com,myhost2.abc.com,myhost3.abc.com (current scenario)

filter_hosts=myhost*.abc.com     (Requested Scenario)

OR

filter_hosts=myhost*             (Requested Scenario)


Actual results:


Expected results:

All host should be reported to satellite started with given string "myhost" or having myhost*.abc.com


Additional info:

There is an option i.e. exclude_hosts should also allow to use wildcard similar to previous one.

No, this is not. I am moving this to virt-who to have csnyder triage.
