Hosts

A page to manage your 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 name of the host and the state of the host. To access the host details page, click the arrow on the card.

State of the host

The state of each host is indicated by the color of the card header:
