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.

ParameterDescription
NameFilter by visible host name.
Host groupsFilter by one or more host groups.
Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups.
IPFilter by IP address.
DNSFilter by DNS name.
PortFilter by port number.
SeverityFilter by problem severity. By default problems of all severities are displayed. Problems are displayed if not suppressed.
StatusFilter by host status.
TagsFilter 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
