Hosts

The hosts page allows management of hosts. Zabbix hosts typically represent physical or virtual devices that are monitored, such as servers, workstations, switches, and more. Hosts are organized into host groups for effective management.

The hosts page provides an overview of the server’s available hosts in the form of a list. Each host is displayed as a card with two types of information: the host name and the host state. To access the host details page, click the arrow on the card.

Host state

The color of the card header indicates the state of the host:

host-list — *Hosts list: State of the host*

Blue: The host is not in maintenance and is not disabled.
Yellow: The host is in maintenance with data collection.
Red: The host is in maintenance without data collection.
Gray: The host is disabled.

For more information about the maintenance state, refer to the [Zabbix documentation about maintenance ](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/maintenance).

Filtering hosts

Various filters or favorites can be applied to focus on hosts matching specific criteria.

Advanced filters

Clicking the funnel icon opens a menu with advanced filtering and sorting options:

Sort by: Identifier by which the hosts are ordered.
Sort order: Whether the hosts are sorted in ascending or descending order.
Displayed elements: Total number of hosts shown in the list.
Tags: Filter by tags. Can be expanded by clicking the plus. The tag filter configuration mirrors that of Zabbix.

Click Filter to save and apply filter options. Use Reset Filters to restore the defaults.
