Managing Hosts


Nagios offers several pages that can be used to view and modify host information. The Nagios web interface offers a view of all defined hosts, their statuses, and basic information. These can be used to determine the status of hosts. Hostgroup-related views also show the status of services bound to hosts. Host information pages also allows the modification of several parameters related to host configuration.

Status

Nagios offers a panel that shows all hosts along with their statuses. It can be accessed by clicking on the Host Detail link on the left-side menu.

The following is a screenshot reporting six hosts, all of which are currently UP:

The page shows a list of all hosts, their statuses, and basic information on when the host was last checked and when the status was last changed. It also shows the information text response from the check. The sort order of the table can be changed by using the arrow buttons next to each column's header.
