Hi Matthew,
Thank you for your answer. That is what I kind of explained already to
the enduser (I will try to avoid the term 'customer'). Since I do not
know all configuration options of the different UI's, I was not sure. I
felt that his request did not fit the way Icinga is presenting
host/service status. It did not feel natural to me anyway, because what
I really want to see is only the hosts and services with problems and
fix that asap. But when someone requests something, I will try to find a
definitive answer (with respect to current possiblities).
Since tools like Icinga are nearly always used in a business situation,
either deployed by internal staff or by hired hands (me), I hope I can
address this list for future questions. Even if it is not just for fun
and hobby (which it partially is, but I also need to find means to pay
for the beer for myself or Michael).
Regards,
Hans

Is this something that is at all supported by Icinga and if it is, how
can it be configured (both icinga-web and classical ui)?
You are more than welcome to ask such questions here and we always
value the ideas that come from such discussions even if we don't
necessarily act on them all.
Michael's concern is that this was a question related to a commercial
interest. As you no doubt noted, he is strongly against even a hint of
such things.
To answer your question; no, that is not currently how it works in
either the Classic UI or icinga-web. The general consensus is that if
there is a problem it shouldn't be hidden under layers of complexity
that you then have to drill down to get to. In fact, much of what we
try to do is to have important problems bubble up to the top as best
we can.
If you can think of a way to have it both ways at the same time, I'm
all ears.
That said, Hostgroups are not layers, they are collections of hosts.
It might be possible for you to come up with some fancy configuration
with some combination of dependencies to represent something more
layer-ish, perhaps even using Nagvis for some visualization of your
idea, albeit roughly, but it would be quite a feat and I'm not sure
the effort would be worth it.
Matthew
