PATCH : make overview usefull again

[ghoz]

Do you remember when you started using zabbix, and the overview screen was nice and clean with all the relevant info for your 2 test servers ?

Are you , like me, adding more and mode items, triggers and hosts ?

Your overview is getting bigger and completely unuseable.

Maybe you'd like get back a useful overview again...

Here is my small contribution .

This patch is made against 1.8.5 it adds the ability to filter by application the overview page for data and triggers, and works at the screens level.

Known limitations :
* there is no '- other -' application filter for items and triger with no application. you have to pick 'all' applicaitons to be able to see those...
* this has only been tested on my setup .
* This is as usual provided 'as is'

enjoy ...

seems to be relevant for feature request https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-484

[ghoz]

thanks, I wasn't able to find this feateure request, and was about to create a dupe ...

[cferraro]

This is a great feature. I've got it working in 1.8.6.

Extending this to the Data Overview in Screens would be helpful too.

Thanks for the great work.

[ghoz]

Thanks.

It already works in the screens...
when you create your screen, for data and trigger overviews, the patch is supposed to add an "Application" filter.

Is there any chance of getting this patch for 1.8.9? Looks very useful!

[ghoz]

Here is a version that was made for 1.8.7,
I just tested patching 1.8.9, it seems to apply correctly...

[dougbee]

Yes, the 1.8.7 patch worked nicely against 1.8.9. Thanks very much!

[cferraro]

Awesome work!

Got this working in 1.8.9. Works in both screens and overview.

Voted up the feature request too. This is an extremely valuable addition to the UI.

Thanks

Working well in 1.8.11


Thank You!

Can we get this for 2.0.0? Was just talking to someone about how useful this would be.

[ghoz]

I'm still running on 1.8, so no cookie for now...
I guess I'll have an updated patch in the following months when we start our tests and migration ...

Updated patch for 2.0

I've updated the patch to 2.0. The patch is based on the 2.0 Branch from SVN revision 28312. Hope it works for others and we can get something like this integrated into Zabbix soon. It really cleans things up (and gives me a reason to utilize applications). Much thanks to ghoz for the original work. Standard disclaimer applies: I've only done limited testing, your experience may vary.

Reversed patch??

I've updated the patch to 2.0. The patch is based on the 2.0 Branch from SVN revision 28312. Hope it works for others and we can get something like this integrated into Zabbix soon. It really cleans things up (and gives me a reason to utilize applications). Much thanks to ghoz for the original work. Standard disclaimer applies: I've only done limited testing, your experience may vary.

I just applied this to a test 2.0 system I have. I got a message that the first part of the patch was possibly a reversed of previously applied:

Is it, or did you just make a mistake doing the diff?

Thanks

I could have a mistake, as I am by no means an expert in creating patch files, but it does seem to work for me. FYI, the patch was created via svn diff. To test I just downloaded the current 2.0 release from the website and applied the patch successfully as follows:
