Host groups

Here you can view all host groups and their maintenances in a hierarchy list:

Host group maintenance list

For each host group you can see their number of configured maintenances and current maintenance status. Whether a host group is in maintenance can be determined 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.

The host groups will be displayed in a hierarchy list. When the host group name contains the name of another host group followed by a slash (/), it will be put under that host group:

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 the host group is currently in maintenance. Depending on the maintenance state other options will differ.

Configuration: Host group not in maintenance

It offers the option to start a maintenance with the following options:

Configuration form: Host group not in maintenance

• With data collection: Specifies whether the maintenance will start with or without data collection.
• Apply to sub groups: If this option is enabled, all host groups below it in the hierarchy will also be set into maintenance. If enabled, the data collection settings will apply to those host groups as well.

Configuration: Host group in maintenance

You can end any maintenances that have been created by DataForge again by clicking the configuration button. When checking Apply to subgroups, any maintenances of the sub host groups will be stopped as well.
