When matching for hosts in BI aggregations it is now possible to match hosts with regular expressions by their host alias instead of the host name.

Additionally it is now possible to use the host alias in the titles of the aggregations.

Instead of using $1$ for matchin the host name or the host alias, you can now use the variables $HOSTNAME$ or $HOSTALIAS$ to use them in your BI rules.
