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, dashboards and web scenarios.

Column Description
Name The visible host name. Clicking on the it brings up the host menu.
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 Host availability per configured interface is displayed.
Icons represent only those interface types (Zabbix agent, SNMP, IPMI, JMX) that are configured. If you position the mouse on the icon, a popup list of all interfaces of this type appears with each interface details, status and errors.
The column is empty for hosts with no interfaces.
The current status of all interfaces of one type is displayed by the respective icon color:
Green - all interfaces available
Yellow - at least one interface available and at least one unavailable; others can have any value including 'unknown'
Red - no interfaces available
Gray - at least one interface unknown (none unavailable)
Note that active Zabbix agent items do not affect host availability.
Tags Tags of the host and all linked templates, with macros unresolved.
Problems Square icons that show current open problems.
Icon color indicates problem severity. The number on an icon means the number of problems for the given severity.
Use the filter to select whether suppressed problems should be included (not included by default).
Status Host status is displayed - Enabled or Disabled.
Clicking on the header row in this column will sort hosts by status in ascending or descending order.
Latest data Clicking on the link will open Monitoring - Latest data page with all the latest data collected from the host.
Problems Clicking on the link will open Monitoring - Problems section filtered to show only information for the given host.
Graphs Clicking on the link will display graphs configured for the host. The number of graphs is displayed in gray.
If a host has no graphs, the link is disabled (gray text) and no number is displayed.

Using filter

You can use the filter to display only the hosts you are interested in. For better search performance, data is searched with macros unresolved.

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. Favorite filter settings can be saved as tabs and then quickly accessed by clicking on the tabs above the filter.

Parameter Description
Name Filter by visible host name.
Host groups Filter by one or more host groups.
Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups.
IP Filter by IP address.
DNS Filter by DNS name.
Port Filter by port number.
Severity Filter by problem severity. By default problems of all severities are displayed. Problems are displayed if not suppressed.
Status Filter by host status.
Tags Filter by host tag name and value. Hosts can be filtered by host-level tags as well as tags from all linked templates, including parent templates.
It is possible to include as well as exclude specific tags and tag values. Several conditions can be set. Tag name matching is always case-sensitive.
There are several operators available for each condition:
Exists - include the specified tag names
Equals - include the specified tag names and values (case-sensitive)
Contains - include the specified tag names where the tag values contain the entered string (substring match, case-insensitive)
Does not exist - exclude the specified tag names
Does not equal - exclude the specified tag names and values (case-sensitive)
Does not contain - exclude the specified tag names where the tag values contain the entered string (substring match, case-insensitive)
There are two calculation types for conditions:
And/Or - all conditions must be met, conditions having the same tag name will be grouped by the Or condition
Or - enough if one condition is met
