Context:
I have a project with multiple servers in it.
Every server has a specific scope (webserver, balancer, db master, replica ecc).
Every server has its own (host)name and the name can be meaningless.
Hostname must obey to specific rules so I can't use hostname field fort this purpose.

It would be useful to have one more field for "server nickname/alias " to better identify the servers. 

e.g. "srv105" is meaningless but if I set its nick to "db replica" it becomes more recognizable inside the project.
