Overview

In the Configuration → Host groups section users can configure and maintain host groups. A host group can contain both templates and hosts.

A listing of existing host groups with their details is displayed. You can search and filter host groups by name.

Displayed data:

Buttons below the list offer some mass-editing options:

  • Enable hosts - change the status of all hosts in the group to "Monitored"
  • Disable hosts - change the status of all hosts in the group to "Not monitored"
  • Delete - delete the host groups

To use these options, mark the checkboxes before the respective host groups, then click on the required button.
