# 1 Overview

#### Overview

The *Inventory → Overview* section provides ways of having an overview
of [host inventory](/manual/config/hosts/inventory) data.

For an overview to be displayed, choose host groups (or none) and the
inventory field by which to display data. The number of hosts
corresponding to each entry of the chosen field will be displayed.

The completeness of an overview depends on how much inventory
information is maintained with the hosts.

Numbers in the *Host count* column are links; they lead to these hosts
being filtered out in the *Host Inventories* table.
