Administrative outputs for hostgroup/parent relationships
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:10 pm
The Idea: A report or some form of output that shows hostgroup and parent relationships.
The Use: Dealing with larger installs, or even installs of a few hundred devices can be daunting to audit proper relationships especially if the majority have been imported in bulk. This feature would provide a simple report or table output showing what hostgroups devices belong to and who their parents are. Most importantly for installations monitoring several thousand devices, this feature will allow administrators to see any devices that are missing a hostgroup or parent directives.
