How can you make views or dashboards apply to different folders? The company I work for has numerous folders but the dashboards seem to relate to all hosts. I can see how to create a dashboard that uses a WATO folder as a filter, but I want that to apply when I select the folder. It would also be nice to know how to create a dashboard that can be applied to different folders and dynamically adopt the folder as a filter to the elements of the dashboards.
Hi, you can use tags/labels if you want to span across multiple folders. These attributes can be defined at the folder level or the host level. Some of the hosts get the labels assigned automatically via the agents and special integrations and the user can also use those out of the box labels rather than creating one. If you create your own labels, you can also combine them to look for specific information in your Dashbards/Views.
I really like these small tutorials, they teach something new in each one ;)
Fantastic. Thank you.
great Tutorial

I take it the RAW version has all the options grayed out because it those are disabled?
too bad you can't monitor specific folders in hosts or designate more than one host
ahh you can!
