+# Add Columns to List Views <a id="monitoring-module-add-columns-list-views"></a>
+
+The monitoring module provides list views for hosts and services.
+These lists only provide the most common columns to reduce the backend
+query load.
+
+If you want to add more columns to the list view e.g. in order to use the URL in
+your dashboards or as external iframe integration, you need the `addColumns` URL
+parameter.
+
+
+
+Example for adding the host `address` attribute in a host list:
+
+```
+http://localhost/icingaweb2/monitoring/list/hosts?addColumns=host_address
+```
+
+![Screenshot](img/list_hosts_add_columns.png)
+
+
+
+
+Example for multiple columns as comma separated parameter string. This
+includes a reference to the Icinga 2 host object custom attribute `os` using
+`_host_` as custom variable identifier.
+
+```
+http://localhost/icingaweb2/monitoring/list/services?addColumns=host_address,_host_os
+```
