Nagios XI - Hostgroup search

Post by S54326 »

Hi,
we're running XI 2014R2.0 with the XI 2014 Theme so there's the search box in the black menu bar. But typing in the name of a hostgroup doesn't find that hostgroup.

Does anyone know how to search for a hostgroup via the XI interface?

Unfortunately, it just searches by the host_name directive, I would be more than happy to put in a feature request for you to request this be added if you'd like. I could also see searching by host alias as being useful.

Hi, yes please. If you can raise this as a feature request. I can see searching by hostgroup name and (if possible) service group names would be helpful to us. As you suggest the host alias could be useful to people.

Cheers
