HOSTS¶

Data in the HOST Explorer is directly sourced from collection tasks, covering host performance Metrics (such as CPU, memory, disk, network, etc.), resource usage, and configuration status details. Collection tasks gather data from target hosts at a preset frequency (approximately every 5 minutes) and store it in the workspace DATABASE.

The HOST Explorer organizes this data by host identifier and Time Series to quickly view the latest status of all collected hosts.

• Real-time updates: The HOST Explorer refreshes data in real-time based on the frequency of collection tasks, ensuring the latest host status is displayed;
• Key Metrics prioritized: By default, it displays critical host performance Metrics (such as CPU usage, memory usage, etc.) while providing an option for extended fields so you can view more detailed Metrics as needed;
• Status differentiation: Lists hosts that have reported data within the last 10 minutes.

Data Display¶

The HOST Explorer provides multiple professional analysis views using lists and charts.

Host List¶

Data Sorting¶

In the host object list, you can sort Metric data in ascending or descending order.

Show Only Online Hosts¶

Clicking the "Show Only Online Hosts" button quickly lists hosts that have reported data within the last 10 minutes.

Time Widget¶

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

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

Cross-workspace Authorization¶

If the current workspace is configured with data authorization and the authorized data types include "Infrastructure", then you can switch to the authorized workspace in the upper left corner of the host Explorer page to view related host data.

Host Details¶

By clicking on the hostname in the host object list, a side-sliding host details page appears where you can view basic information about the host, extended attributes, associated information, and bound Views.

Host Labels¶

In multi-host management environments, you can customize labels for each host to classify, filter, and query data based on attribute labels. After label configuration is completed, it takes effect after waiting 1-5 minutes.

1. Click the edit button to the right of Labels;

2. Select labels from the drop-down list or press Enter to add labels;

3. After adding, save.

Basic Information¶

In the basic information section of the host details page, you can add host labels, check the integration operation status, system information, and cloud provider information.

Integration Operation Status¶

Displays the installed DataKit version information and the operational status of related collectors for this host, including two states:

• Collectors running normally, displayed by default as "light blue";

• Collectors with errors, displayed by default as "red", with support for viewing error information.

Collectors with view symbols support opening monitoring Views directly on the current details page:

System Information¶

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

Cloud Provider Information¶

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

Extended Attributes¶

You can view all attributes of related hosts. You can search and filter through field names or values to narrow down the scope of your view.

Hover over the corresponding field's value to show its original format.

Associated Analysis¶

The system supports associated analysis for each infrastructure object. In addition to the host's basic information, you can comprehensively monitor the host's Metrics, logs, processes, events, CONTAINERS, NETWORK, Security Check, etc., more quickly and comprehensively.

Bind Built-in Views¶

In addition to the Views displayed by default in this system, you can also bind user Views.

1. Enter the built-in View binding page;
2. View default associated fields. You can choose to retain or delete fields and add new key:value fields;
3. Select the View;
4. After completing the binding, you can view the bound built-in View in the host object details. You can 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¶

Both built-in pages and Views are equipped with a Time Widget, allowing you to determine the time range of data display by selecting a time range. Additionally, choosing to "Pin" the time range fixes the current query time, maintaining consistent time range settings across different pages.

For example, selecting "Last 3 hours" and clicking the "Pin" button to fix the time range on the Viewer/Dashboard/Details page will keep the time range as "Last 3 hours" when switching to the host details page.

Export Data¶

To export a specific host data, simply click the icon in the upper right corner.

Mute Host¶

This can be used to temporarily ignore alarm notifications for specific hosts, reducing interference and focusing on important tasks, such as known temporary issues or during maintenance periods.

1. On the host details page, click Mute Host;
2. Select the mute time type;
3. Click confirm.

After configuration, returning to the host list will show a mute mark for muted hosts. During the mute period, you will not receive alarm notifications for that host, and related alarm events will be automatically stored in event management. You can view all muted hosts in Monitoring > Mute Management.

To cancel muting, you can click "Cancel Mute" directly in the host details or operate in "Monitoring > Mute Management."
