Examples

The following examples aim to only describe the configuration of the dashboard widget field objects for the Top triggers widget. For more information on configuring a dashboard, see dashboard.create.

Configuring a Top triggers widget

Configure a Top triggers widget that displays the top 5 triggers for host group "4" with the count of all problems for each trigger. The widget displays only triggers that have severities "Warning", "Average", "High", or "Disaster", and problems that have a tag with the name "scope" that contains values "performance" or "availability", or "capacity".
