Hi everyone,
I would like to know if it is possible to set up nested host groups (one or two level of nesting) in Centreon.
In my current setup, I have several separate host groups such as:
Bureau1_LANBureau1_WIFIBureau1_PrintersBureau1_...
What I would like to do is place all these groups into a master host group called "Bureau1".
This would be very useful during maintenance, because I could simply apply the downtime to the master group instead of selecting every individual sub‑group manually.
The sub‑groups (LAN, WiFi, Printers, etc.) are still necessary, since sometimes maintenance applies only to a specific type of equipment and not to all devices in the Bureau category.
Another use case would be to use this host group in MAP, which would allow us to enter it, view the host sub‑groups, and then drill down into those sub‑groups to access the individual hosts
At the moment, we use host categories as a kind of ‘master group’, but this doesn’t meet all our needs:
- it is not possible to put all hosts in a category into maintenance,
- and it is not possible to display the hosts of a category on MAP
Would it be possible to consider this kind of improvement?
I saw that this topic already existed, but it seems that we do not have the same use cases.
Thanks in advance!
