From time to time we want to bring not so widely known features of Icinga into spotlight. In this effort it’s a not so obvious feature, that was available in the monitoring module of Icinga Web 2 at some point already. It has also been available in Icinga DB Web since its release. We’re talking about selecting multiple list items.
Our goal was to make it as obvious as possible, without wasting screen space for those users who are already aware of the feature. We also stuck as close as possible to what you know from your favorite OS to make it as intuitive as possible.
As already mentioned it slumbers kind of in the background. After opening an object list view, e.g. the hosts list from Overview > Hosts there’s a note in the status bar at the bottom of the list, pointing out, that you can select multiple items from the list.
