Filtering on host name in dashboards doesn’t affect BI Aggregation tree views

General

Hi,
I’m trying to build a dashboard that shows BI Aggregation trees.

  • I’ve added a host name filter to the dashboard.
  • My expectation was that the BI tree dashlet would then only show nodes related to that host.
  • But the filter doesn’t seem to affect the BI Aggregation view.

Question:
Is there a way to filter BI Aggregation tree views by host name directly from the dashboard filter? Or do I need to design the BI rules/trees differently if I want per-host filtering?

Thanks!

No, turns out I was wrong, adding a filter to the tree dashlet has no effect. Any ideas?

Sorry for the bump, just wondering if anyone has experience with filtering BI aggregation tree views by host? I’d really like to reuse the same aggregation tree for different hosts if possible. Any hints would be much appreciated!

I think I have done something similar to what you are trying to achieve. Confirming you want to have one set of rules that generate the aggregation hierarchy and be able to have multiple aggregations using the rule set based on a host name variable?

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify what I’m after:

I already know how to parameterize BI rules with a hostname, but that approach requires me to create separate BI aggregations and views for each host. What I’d like instead is to reuse the same BI rules, aggregations, and views, and only create multiple dashboards.

My hope was that the dashboard filter (e.g. hostname) could directly influence the BI Aggregation dashlets, so the same aggregations/views can be displayed differently depending on which dashboard or filter is active.

Is that possible, or do I indeed need separate BI aggregations/views per host if I want host-specific dashboards?
