View Host data
Middleware will take the first 5 minutes of any new host to display data. This time is spent indexing relevant attributes to enable high cardinality analytics.
Once indexing is complete data will be batch loaded every 15 seconds, and you'll be able to monitor host metrics and health from the Infrastructure page in the platform.
