#### Overview

Host screens look similar to [global
screens](/manual/config/visualization/screens), however, host screens
display data about the host only. Host screens are configured on the
[template](/manual/config/templates/template#adding_screens) level and
then are generated for a host, once the template is linked to the host.

Host screens *cannot* be configured or directly accessed in the
*Monitoring* →
*[Screens](/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/screens)*
section, which is reserved for global screens. The ways to access host
screens are listed below in this section.

        drop-down menu
