[Bug]: Leading/trailing whitespace in IP or hostname prevents monitoring from working

Web Interface / All environments

Bug Description

The application does not sanitize the Target URL/Host input field in the "Create New Service" modal. When a user accidentally includes leading or trailing whitespaces, the service is saved with those spaces, causing the monitoring to fail or remain in an error state. The app should automatically trim whitespaces from the input.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Click the + NewService button to open the "Create New Service" dialog.
2. Fill in the Service Name (e.g., "Test Service").
3. In the Target URL/Host field, enter an address with an accidental space, for example: google.com or 192.168.1.1
4. Click Create to save the service.
5. Observe that the monitor fails to function properly because the space is treated as part of the hostname/IP.

Expected Behavior

The application should perform a .trim() on the "Target URL/Host" input before saving. Leading or trailing spaces should be automatically removed so that the monitoring works regardless of accidental keyboard strokes.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I’m currently reviewing it and will provide an update once it has been fixed.

I hit this too. For services already saved with a space, edit the service and retype the target without the trailing space — that fixes the monitor immediately.
For new services, the real fix belongs in the modal: trim the input before submit. As a local patch, adding .trim() to the Target URL/Host field in the create-service form fixed it on my install. I don't know why the field isn't sanitized upstream, but this works.
