Host group assignment

[carlos_carreno]

Good afternoon everyone, I need your support in understanding a scenario when I am assigning the host group to a group of HOSTs

I am assigning a host group to a group of hosts via commands:

.\oneagentctl.exe --set-host-group=xxxxxxxx --restart-service

"When checking through this other command, it seems that this feature was indeed assigned to the host."

.\oneagentctl.exe --get-host-group

Despite having assigned it to the host in that order, when I go to the interface to visualize the data, it doesn't appear.

Example of how it should appear.

Additionally, there is a host that appears assigned to this host group, but the command has never been executed on it.

Thank you for your valuable help and guidance. Many thanks.

In my own experience, the host-group, when set after installation, takes a while to reflect in UI.

For how long are you waiting before check the host-group assignment in UI?

More than 5 hours

Depending on the size of your env, it may take longer, based on my own experience.

But you can confirm if the assignment takes effect checking the list of hosts by hostgroup in UI:

I just did a change moments ago, and was reflected in UI very fast. Small environment though, with a little bit more than 100 hosts...

Hi,

It is weird, you can try from Dynatrace UI also, just to compare if you notice differences.

Best regards

Thank you very much for the input. I will make the change through that method, and I hope the host accepts it. In theory, it should work 🙂
