This feature allows to configure how spaces of VMs of ESX should be treated. Hostnames in the monitoring core generally are not allowed to contain spaces. The new option -S (configurable via the WATO rule Check state of VMWare ESX via vSphere) can now set how to handle these spaces:

OptionBehaviour
-S cutThe virtual machines name is cut after the first space
-S underlineAll spaces of this virtual machine are replaced with underline
