Hello,
i try to use some filter to make my own dashboard. But one of the filter options are not working or i do not understand how to use it. I have 5 zones and no value will work in this field no matter if i will filter hosts or services. No quotes will work, no wildcards will work.
Please can you provide an example for me.
This is a inspection of an object:
…
The Zone exist.
Host Cluster Zone is not available for me to filter so my guess is that this is a custom variable (maybe from the cluster_zone check command?).
You could add a custom variable to the host template (e.g. “location”) and then filter using this variable.
Don’t know why directly filtering on the zone is not possible 
edit: Maybe create a feature request on github and ask for the possibilty to filer for the zone directly.
In our environment is the same behavior as @log1c described. But our workarround is using host groups!
At first you create a new HostGroup (like in our environment the zone “server”):
object HostGroup "Zone_Server" {
display_name = "Zone Server"
assign where host.zone == "server"
}
After this you could create a filter for this:
Of course ist would be more elegant if it would be possible to filter direct for the zone.
Hello,
many thanks to you log1c and Stevie.
