5 Host screens

Overview

Host screens look similar to global screens, however, host screens display data about the host only. Host screens are configured on the template level and then are generated for a host, once the template is linked to the host.

Host screens cannot be configured or directly accessed in the Monitoring → Screens section, which is reserved for global screens. The ways to access host screens are listed below in this section.
