3 Hosts

Overview

The Monitoring → Hosts section displays a full list of monitored hosts with detailed information about host interface, availability, tags, current problems, status (enabled/disabled), and links to easily navigate to the host's latest data, problem history, graphs, screens, and web scenarios.

Column Description

An orange wrench icon after the name indicates that this host is in maintenance.
Clicking on the header row in this column will sort hosts by name in ascending (default) or descending order.
Interface The main interface of the host is displayed.
Availability Availability of the host is displayed. Four icons each represent a supported interface (Zabbix agent, SNMP, IPMI, JMX).
The current status of the interface is displayed by the respective color:
Green - available
Red - not available (upon mouseover, details of why the interface cannot be reached are displayed)
Gray - unknown or not configured
Note that active Zabbix agent items do not affect host availability.
Tags Tags of the host and all linked templates, with macros unresolved.

Using filter

You can use the filter to display only the hosts you are interested in. The filter is located above the table. It is possible to filter hosts by name, host group, IP or DNS, interface port, tags, problem severity, status (enabled/disabled/any); you can also select whether to display suppressed problems and hosts that are currently in maintenance.

Notes:

  • Host groups field supports multiple entries.
  • Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups.
  • By default problems of all severities are displayed, if not suppressed.
  • By default hosts in maintenance are displayed, but suppressed problems on these hosts are not shown.
  • When Severity filter is used and Show suppressed problems checkbox is unchecked, hosts with suppressed problems of the specified severity will not be displayed.
  • Hosts can be filtered by host-level tags as well as tags from all linked templates, including parent templates.
