Hello,

Just wondering how I can edit/delete a tag after creation ? I am not able to find any information on the documentation and could not figure it out in the dashboard/settings.

Thanks .

So we went From Version: 1.12.1 To: Version: 1.17.1

And there is still no way to manage the tags or even just DELETE a tag you don't want. You make a typo on your TAG and your a done. amazing

I wish I could just make a pull request for that , but i'm no expert

We still can't edit or remove tags. Now I'm stuck with tags of the same color that I can't change. Valve, please fix. I mean, please, merge!

I found a work around to editing the colors. If you export the settings into the json file, open it up in Notepad++ and change the hex color code for the tag, or edit the name of the tag. You can do a find/replace to change them faster. You're also not limited to the color choices when creating the tag in the web ui as it will accept and use any hex color code you put in it.

After you have edited the json, you can then import it and make it overwrite the current settings. The changes will be immediate. Also, if you need to remove a tag, just delete all the json entries for that tag and it won't show up in the list on the web ui. Just make sure you adhere to the json formatting when you delete the entries or you will get import errors.

Edit: Just noticed that if you do this method, then all your status pages will need to be setup with the monitors again, as it wipes all of the monitors from them when you import settings apparently.

This feature will be released along with 1.20.0.

Yes, of course, you could donate through OpenCollective or GitHub. You should find the links in this repo's home page.
