Host State History versus Service State History

[SteveBeauchemin]

I am unable to get the distinction between the Host and Service data.

When I drill into a Service to get history, it pre-populates the selection criteria for me.
When I drill into a Host to get history, it pre-populates the selection criteria for me.
The screen is the same except for the header in the results.

What happens on the Host History is that I get Service History. I just want the Host 'Alive' history. Not data about All the services. I want no services.

I think that there needs to be a [No Services] option along with the [All Services] option in the drop down selector.

The same is true for Host Notifications. I am unable to see only the host itself. It shows all the services.

Having [All Services] is good. I see the benefit. But having [No Services] while looking for Host ping test results would be good too.

Is there any way to get that to happen?

Thanks

I am actually flabbergasted. Really. I cannot believe that no one has ever asked for this in XI and because I figured it bust have been there in the past and is broken now, I checked on an old system and it is the same way.

Currently the only way to see it is to run the Legacy Alert History Report and then in the upper right under "History detail level for all hosts:" choose
"All host Alerts"

This will give you a report with a URL like this
/nagiosxi/includes/components/nagioscore/ui/history.php?host=localhost&archive=0&statetype=0&type=2

Anyways, I will put in a Feature Request for this.

Scott,

Thanks for the work-around.

I hope to Not find any more stuff like this. I hope Nagios perfection becomes a reality soon.

But... There will always be little things that sneak past us.

In any case, I appreciate all the good stuff that the Nagios XI system provides. It just keeps getting better.

Thanks

I just cannot believe in 9 years of XI being around nobody including staff noticed this!

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I'm sure this will be added in the future, just not exactly sure when.
