Hosts¶

The data in the Hosts Explorer is directly sourced from collection tasks, covering detailed information such as host performance metrics (e.g., CPU, memory, disk, network), resource usage, and configuration status. Collection tasks gather data from target hosts at a preset frequency (approximately every 5 minutes) and store it in the workspace database.

The Hosts Explorer organizes this data by host identifiers and time series, allowing for quick viewing of the latest status of all collected hosts.

• Real-time updates: The Hosts Explorer refreshes data in real-time based on the collection task frequency, ensuring the latest host status is displayed;
• Key metrics prioritized: By default, key performance metrics (e.g., CPU usage, memory usage) are displayed, with options to expand and view more detailed metrics as needed;
• Status differentiation: Filters list hosts that have reported data within the last 10 minutes.

Data Display¶

The Hosts Explorer provides various professional analysis views based on lists and charts.

Host List¶

Data Sorting¶

In the host object list, metric data can be sorted in ascending or descending order.

Show Only Online Hosts¶

Click the "Show Only Online Hosts" button to quickly list hosts that have reported data within the last 10 minutes.

Time Widget¶

In the top right corner of the Explorer, you can select different time ranges for host data, including:

• Last 2 hours
• Last 6 hours
• Last 1 day
• Last 2 days

Cross-Workspace Authorization¶

If the current workspace has configured Data Authorization and the authorized data types include "Infrastructure," you can switch to the authorized workspace in the top left corner of the Hosts Explorer page to view related host data.

Host Details¶

Click the host name in the host object list to slide out the host details page, where you can view basic information, extended attributes, related information, and bound views for that host.

Host Labels¶

In multi-host management environments, custom labels can be added to each host for data classification, filtering, and querying based on attribute labels. Labels take effect 1-5 minutes after configuration.

1. Click the edit button on the right side of Labels;

2. Select a label from the dropdown list or directly press Enter to add a label;

3. Save after adding.

Basic Information¶

In the basic information section of the host details page, you can add Host Labels, view integration status, system information, and cloud provider information.

Integration Status¶

Displays the DataKit version information and related collector status for the host, including two states:

• Collectors running normally are displayed in "light blue" by default;

• Collectors with errors are displayed in "red" by default, and clicking allows viewing error details.

Collectors with the view symbol support opening monitoring views directly in the current details page:

System Information¶

The host details page displays system information, covering host name, OS, processor, memory, network, disk, connection tracking, and files.

Cloud Provider Information¶

For cloud hosts configured with Cloud Sync, the host details page also provides the following information: cloud platform, instance name, instance ID, instance type, region, availability zone, creation time, network type, billing type, and IP address.

Extended Attributes¶

You can view all attributes of the related host. Supports filtering by field name or value to narrow the view.

Hover over the value of a field to display its original format.

Correlation Analysis¶

The system supports correlation analysis for each infrastructure object. In addition to basic host information, you can also gain insights into metrics, logs, processes, events, containers, networks, etc., for faster and more comprehensive host monitoring.

Binding Built-in Views¶

In addition to the views displayed by default, user views can also be bound.

1. Enter the built-in view binding page;
2. View default related fields. You can choose to keep or delete fields, or add new key:value fields;
3. Select a view;
4. After binding, the bound built-in views can be viewed in the host object details. Click the jump button to go to the corresponding built-in view page.

Click the jump button to enter the corresponding built-in view page.

Time Widget¶

Built-in pages and views are equipped with a time widget. You can determine the time range for data display by filtering the time. Additionally, selecting "Pin" time range fixes the current query time, ensuring consistent time range settings across different pages.

For example, selecting "Last 3 hours" and clicking the "Pin" button in the Explorer/Dashboard/Details page fixes the time range. When switching to the host details page, the time range remains "Last 3 hours".

Export Data¶

To export a host's data, click the icon in the top right corner.

Mute Host¶

Can be used to temporarily ignore alert notifications for specific hosts, reducing distractions and focusing on important tasks, such as known temporary issues or during maintenance.

1. In the host details page, click Mute Host;
2. Select the mute time type;
3. Confirm.

After configuration, return to the host list, and muted hosts will display a mute identifier. During the mute period, you will not receive Alert Notifications for that host, and related alert events will be automatically stored in event management. You can view all muted hosts in Monitoring > Mute Management.

To cancel the mute, click "Unmute" directly in the host details or operate in "Monitoring > Mute Management".
