  I want to have a view with all results of last service discovery. Then I want to select manually the lines with interesting hosts, then I want an additional command in command menu to perform a service discovery, probably followed by a selection popup.

  There are many situations when hosts have been selected in the monitoring side of CheckMK - such as when filtering for all hosts that are down - and there is often a need to change configuration for those hosts, but there is no way of keeping the list of selected hosts when jumping to the configuration side of CheckMK.
  There should be better links from the monitoring side to the setup/configuration side of CheckMK

  Hello,
  based on
  https://forum.checkmk.com/t/liste-von-hosts-die-down-sind-mit-einer-auswahl-loschen/49541
  the suggestion to make hosts directly selectable and deletable from a list.
  
  Original text:
  
  Hosts direkt aus eine Liste auswähbar und löschbar zu machen. (siehe Forum)

  I already voted for this, but saw that https://ideas.checkmk.com/suggestions/568826/choose-list-of-host-in-monitoring-view-and-pass-them-to-setup from a month ago is probably the same, right :)?

  If Checkmk looses contact with a large number of hosts Checkmk may not have capacity to continue monitoring. The recommended recovery is by identifying the hosts that are not replying and changing configuration so that they are not monitored, and then restoring the original configuration when the outage is over.
  
  One big issue with this is that there is no way of filtering to find the hosts that are down and then using the list to change configuration - he monitoring and configuration parts of checkmk are separate.
  
  We need a function that allows filtering by state and configuration of the hosts, or more generally a mechanism that allows generating a list of hosts in the monitoring part of checkmk and then using that list of hosts in the configuration part of checkmk.
  
  In addition to being a very important function for recovery, this function would be very useful in all other situations when changing configuration on several hosts based on criteria that can be filtered in monitor
