Removing "silenced" hosts and services from main dashboard

CMK version: 2.1.0p19 CRE

The idea is to keep collecting monitoring data for certain hosts and services and be able to view them on demand.
At the same time, disable all notifications and also remove these hosts and services from the main dashboard.
I have completed the first part by disabling notifications for hosts and services (label based).

Now I want the main dashboard:

  • Host statistics
  • Service statistics
  • Host Problems (unhandled)
  • Service Problems (unhandled)
  • Events of recent 4 hours

to be cleaned and only show real issues that I care about.
Is that possible at all?

Hi @adamwms

that should be doable by saving a filtered version (use the labels to filter) of the main dashboard and using this as your new “main”

See sreenshot for example (of course, I only created the filter ad hoc to illustrate this, but you can save the filtered version of a dashboard (for builtin dashboards clone first, then filter the clone). You can also just use the URL of the filtered dashboard:

If you set the filter directly on the dashboard, it will be permanent.


→ Clone built-in dashboard

→ Properties

And whatever filter makes sense. E.g. acknowleged problems → don’t care? :slight_smile:

Getting there, thanks.
Ignoring “Host problem has been acknowledged” is working as expected.
For the label though (NOTIFY:off in my case) I’m unable to specify any action.
The default action is opposite to what I’m trying to achieve.
I.e. it’s only showing hosts with this label:

2024-04-24_11-29

Please update to Checkmk 2.2.
Then you get:

The upgrade went smoothly and the starting URL is now only showing the desired states.
Thanks again!
