Configuration
To configure, select Problems as type:
You can limit how many problems are displayed in the widget in various ways - by problem status, problem name, severity, host group, host, event tag, acknowledgment status, etc.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Show | Filter by problem status: Recent problems - unresolved and recently resolved problems are displayed (default) Problems - unresolved problems are displayed History - history of all events is displayed |
| Host groups | Enter host groups to display problems of in the widget. This field is auto-complete so starting to type the name of a group will offer a dropdown of matching groups. Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups. Problems from these host groups will be displayed in the widget. If no host groups are entered, problems from all host groups will be displayed. |
| Exclude host groups | Enter host groups to hide problems of from the widget. This field is auto-complete so starting to type the name of a group will offer a dropdown of matching groups. Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups. Problems from these host groups will not be displayed in the widget. For example, hosts 001, 002, 003 may be in Group A and hosts 002, 003 in Group B as well. If we select to show Group A and exclude Group B at the same time, only problems from host 001 will be displayed in the widget. |
| Hosts | Enter hosts to display problems of in the widget. This field is auto-complete so starting to type the name of a host will offer a dropdown of matching hosts. If no hosts are entered, problems of all hosts will be displayed. |
| Problem | You can limit the number of problems displayed by their name. If you enter a string here, only those problems whose name contains the entered string will be displayed. Macros are not expanded. |
| Severity | Mark the problem severities to be displayed in the widget. |
| Tags | Specify problem tags to limit the number of problems displayed in the widget. 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 When filtered, the tags specified here will be displayed first with the problem, unless overridden by the Tag display priority (see below) list. |

| Tag display priority | Enter tag display priority for a problem, as a comma-separated list of tags (for example: Services,Applications,Application). Tag names only should be used, no values. The tags of this list will always be displayed first, overriding the natural ordering by alphabet. |
