Hi Erik, We also had this problem, and we patched CS to show it on the details. Nevertheless, I believe the API will allow you to filter by instance_name. An example of that is that you can actually search by the instance name in the UI.
I'm going to ask our wizards to push this mainstream, if they didn't do it already. -NT Kind regards, Nuno Tavares Senior DevOps Infra Specialist LeaseWeb Technologies B.V.

There are cases where an error returns the instancename rather than name/uuid, and this is confusing when users have no means to map that to something they know. Example log where instance name is used: Failed to attach volume myvolume to VM mymachine; Device 1 is used in VM i-2-123-VM"} If you do operations manually, or one by one then it is easy to correlate it to your last action, but couple this with any kind of automation where you do things in parallell and it becomes a nightmare to figure out of. Opinions? -- Erik
