Host groups

The host groups maintenance page allows reviewing all host group maintenances configured in Zabbix and initiating maintenance through DataForge.

Here all host groups and their maintenances are displayed in a hierarchy list:

hostGroupStructure — *Host group maintenance list*

For each host group the number of configured maintenances and the current maintenance status are shown. Whether a host group is in maintenance is indicated by the description above the host group name as well as the color of the text and icon:

Green: No maintenance is currently active.
Yellow: In maintenance with data collection.
Red: In maintenance without data collection.

Host groups are displayed in a hierarchy list. When a host group name contains the name of another host group followed by a slash (/), it is placed under that host group:

hostGroupMaintenanceChild — *Host group with children*

Host group configuration

To open the host group maintenance configuration, click the maintenance button of the host group. The configuration shows the host group name and whether it is currently in maintenance. Depending on the maintenance state, other options differ.

Configuration: Host group not in maintenance

Offers the option to start a maintenance with the following settings:

configNoMaintenance — *Configuration form: Host group not in maintenance*

With data collection: Specifies whether the maintenance starts with or without data collection.
Apply to subgroups: If enabled, all host groups below in the hierarchy are also set into maintenance. Data collection settings are applied to those host groups as well.

The maintenance time is intended to be unlimited, but since this is not possible in Zabbix, it is set to 10 years.

Configuration: Host group in maintenance

Any maintenances created by DataForge can be stopped by clicking the configuration button. Selecting Apply to subgroups also ends maintenances of any sub host groups.

configMaintenance — *Configuration form: Host group in maintenance*

Host groups filter

Host groups can be filtered by their status using the filter at the top of the page:

hostGroupFilter — *Host group maintenance filter*

All: Displays all host groups.
In maintenance: Shows all host groups along with their hierarchy tree that are currently in maintenance initiated by DataForge.
Configured in any maintenances: Displays all host groups and their hierarchy tree that either have maintenances configured through Zabbix or are currently in maintenance by DataForge.
Not in maintenance: Lists all host groups that are not currently in maintenance initiated by DataForge.
No maintenances configured: Shows all host groups that are neither in maintenance by DataForge nor have any maintenance configured in Zabbix.
