Error overview¶
The error overview is the central list of every check with a problem — across tenants and hosts. Where the host detail page shows a single host, the error overview shows everything that needs attention right now. On the phone the filters open as a drawer from the bottom.
Categories and status¶
Two filter rows decide what you see:
Categories — one chip group, selected means "is shown":
| Category | Meaning | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Open | untreated problems — not acknowledged, no downtime, no info mode | on |
| ACK (marked as error) | acknowledged, being fixed | off |
| ACK (marked as no error) | acknowledged and classified as "no error" — accepted exception | off |
| Downtime | inside a maintenance window | off |
| Dependency down | the parent dependency (switch, router …) is currently down | off |
| Info | checks in info mode — pure statistics, never alert | off |
"Only Info" or "Downtime + Dependency down" are one or two clicks away. Clicking "Info" in the header summary shows all info checks regardless of their real status.
Status row — additionally filters the real status (Critical, Warning, No Data, Unknown). OK entries are hidden by default; if the chosen category contains some, a hint says "N× status OK — show".
A plain-text line always summarises what the current combination shows. Further filters: full-text search, tenant, profile, host pattern, check type and effective host tags (manual ∪ policy-assigned, OR-combined).
Sorting¶
Sortable by status, duration (how long the problem has existed), host, service, tenant or last check time — ascending or descending.
Saved tabs¶
A filter combination can be saved as its own tab — e.g. "only Critical for customer X" or "network checks across all sites". A tab can be marked as default (opens automatically on the next visit), its link is shareable, and tabs from earlier filter models are migrated automatically.
Views¶
- Normal / compact: compact shows smaller tiles — more entries at a glance.
- TV mode: opens the current filter configuration in TV mode; the link carries the filters in the URL.
Bulk editing¶
Selecting several rows brings up an action bar: Bulk Acknowledge, Bulk downtime, — for Active Collector checks — Check now, plus Edit for bulk changes to interval, thresholds, info mode (running alerts are ended silently) as well as confirmations and confirmation interval (also back to the profile default). "Select all" only marks the currently visible rows. Threshold fields are only editable when they take effect for all selected checks (from v1.9.437).
Error code chips¶
Where a check delivers a structured error code (e.g. an HTTP status or a Nagios exit code), it appears as a small chip next to the entry — with an action hint in the tooltip. For event log/journald checks a link leads to the logs page with exactly the level, time window and unit of the check (from v1.9.437).
