The Inventory->Hosts screen is used to display a list of all Hosts that have been set up in the WISdom collection environment. Host information is displayed in a table format with sortable columns in the Hosts section.

The display can be filtered by using the drop-down menus for Host, Host Model, OS, Monitoring, Data Collector, Silencing Window, and Tag. These filters relate to the columns in the table of the Hosts section.

The Search area (magnifying glass in the upper right corner of the screen) provides the ability to search for a string or name, further limiting the Hosts displayed in the Hosts table.
