Retrieving host system information for dashboards

Anyone knows if the System Information details on a host is available for inclusion in dashboards? Something there are metrics for, but example ip address, OS etc

Yes, datadog can easily do that.

However, its going to depend on a few things, like if the data is in the log source you are using, if the data has been parsed out correctly and depending on if you are taking any transformative actions on the data, that the attributes have been extracted into facets.

From a dashboard view, you can add columns by updating the query the dashboard is using.

From the logs view, you can use the “options” button to add desired columns, or right click on a value in the log and select add column.

Thanks for your reply! :slightly_smiling_face:
I was thinking that the attributes I see on hosts is located somewhere(because you can obviously see them, hence my question), but I can’t seem to grab them anywhere. They’re not attached to any metric or logs right.
