You can now narrow down monitoring results in the global search by folder. Prefix your search with hf: followed by a folder path to find hosts, for example hf:hamburg/infrastructure/drucker to find all printers in the Hamburg infrastructure folder. Use sf: instead to find the services of the hosts in that folder.

The filter matches the folder names as they appear in the folder path, not the folder titles. It ignores case, starts at the main folder and includes all subfolders. Partial names work too, so hf:hamb already finds the hosts below hamburg.

You can combine both filters with the other search filters. For example, hf:hamburg s:CPU lists the CPU services of all hosts in the Hamburg folder.
