Host type management

Name

Host type.

Example :

PC/Windows

Notice: type may change, but all hosts of this type will have the new type.

Sort class

In dropdown menus, host types are sorted using the primary key "sort class" (integer ascending) and secondary key "host type".

Example :

10PC/Windows
20PC/Unix

Present in menus

You may have an existing type in database without being selectable by users: you just have to uncheck this box. Typical uses are:

  • "not specified" type: you don't want users to use this type, but some hosts may have this type after database initialization;
  • no longer valid type: a type is no longer used, and cannot be removed since some hosts may use it.
