Hello,

I have around 1000 VMs which I added initially into host groups like prod, preprod, uat etc. The VMs are a mix of windows and linux. 

Now since I will be using snmp templates and some will use linux_snmp and some will use windows_snmp templates, I want to create 2 new host groups - windows and linux. Now I want to add my hosts into these host groups. What would be the easiest way to do it please? via csv import for example. 

How to add my already added hosts to these new groups without impacting the existing hosts or host groups. For example, I cannot delete and readd all hosts with updated host groups. 

I dont have autodiscovery license.

Maybe

Search/select the host you want to change, do a mass change, add them to the group you want

Yes but that way I will have to select every host manually.

 

I have extracted the list of windows and linux hosts from my vcenter. Now I need to update my hosts in centreon and add the hosts to new host groups - windows and linux. I dont see a straightforward way to do it.
