View an item for all/multiple servers?

[wr38592]

Is there a way to see an item for all the servers?

It would be nice if the search field in Monitoring -> Latest data could just show that item for all the servers group selected.

Did you try Monitoring -> Overview?
It works like you need - one Application for the whole Group of servers

Thanks. I never noticed that you could pick "Data" from the overview.

It's sufficient for what I have, so far, but I can imagine that would get completely impossible if there were a hundred or more hosts and items.

Suppose you had an item showing the number of apache processes on each server. What if you wanted to see that one piece of data for every server and you had a couple hundred data items? First, unless the item is right at the top of the list (where the header is showing the server), how would you know what server it was associated with?

Well, If I ever will have a couple of hundreds servers I will never take a look on the number of Apache processes on each server.

I will prefer to use triggers than scroll down the 50-screens-long list of small lines to be sure that my triggers will give me all important information.

I'm sorry but I cannot imagine the situation when you eyes will be better than computers logic.

Sorry for my personal opinion. I cannot give you the proper solution. I can just mumbling about the human habits..

BTW, about Overview. Did you try to use pull-down menu from top left corner (Hosts location -> Top/Left) ?
