1 Dashboard widgets

Overview

Zabbix provides a variety of dashboard widgets that visualize and summarize monitoring data, giving you a clear overview of system performance and availability.

Below is an overview of all widgets, grouped by their primary purpose.

For widget configuration details, see Dashboard widget parameters.

Data visualization

These widgets present data in various visual formats, helping you monitor data and problems in different ways.

Graph

The Graph widget displays numeric item data as a vector-based graph. It can help you track metrics, spot issues, and compare values over time and across hosts.

Related widgets:

• Graph (classic) - the legacy Graph widget that displays numeric item data as an image-based graph.
• Graph prototype - displays a grid of automatically created custom graphs based on low-level discovery rule graph prototypes or item prototypes.
• Favorite graphs - displays an alphabetical list of shortcuts to graphs marked as favorites by the current user.

Pie chart

The Pie chart widget displays numeric item data as a vector-based pie or doughnut chart. This widget can help you visualize how items or hosts contribute to the overall dataset.

Gauge/Item value

The Gauge/Item value widgets display the value of a single item, useful for keeping an eye on important metrics, visualizing thresholds, and detecting sudden changes in the data.

Item value widget:

Item history

The Item history widget displays the latest data for all item types (numeric, text, etc.) in a table format. It can show progress bars and images (useful for browser items) and can highlight values (useful for log file monitoring).

Top items

The Top items widget displays the top/bottom values for selected items, providing a quick overview of their performance.

Related widgets:

• Top hosts - displays the top/bottom values for selected items from multiple hosts.
• Top triggers - displays triggers with the highest number of problems.

Honeycomb

The Honeycomb widget displays hosts or items as hexagonal cells in a grid. This layout makes it easy to detect problem hosts/items, spot clusters of issues, compare groups at a glance, and more.

Maps

Map widgets visualize network topology or host locations, helping assess overall and location-specific health.

Map

The Map widget can display a network map or a similar visualization, providing you a dynamic overview of your network.

Related widgets:

• Map navigation tree - displays a hierarchy of existing maps and the problem count for each map and map group.
• Favorite maps - displays a list of shortcuts to maps marked as favorites by the current user, sorted alphabetically.

Geomap

The Geomap widget displays hosts as markers on an interactive Leaflet-based map, with marker colors indicating each host's most severe problem.

Host/Item details

These widgets provide lists and detailed views of hosts or items.

Host/Item navigator

The Host navigator/Item navigator widgets display a list of hosts/items based on various filtering and grouping options. These widgets are most useful for controlling what other widgets display based on the selected host/item.

Host/Item card

The Host card/Item card widgets display details of a single host/item, allowing you to quickly assess the status and configuration of a host or item (host availability, problems, inventory, item latest data, errors, description, etc.).

Status and reports

These widgets display status data (e.g., availability, triggers, problems) as well as reports.

Host availability

The Host availability widget displays host availability across selected host groups, allowing you to monitor the number of hosts that are up or down.

Problems

The Problems widget displays current problems filtered by different parameters (host groups, hosts, problem names, etc.), giving you a clear view of what needs attention.

Related widgets:

• Problems by severity - displays the number of cause problems grouped by severity.
• Problem hosts - displays the number of cause problems per host group and shows the highest problem severity in each group.

Trigger overview

The Trigger overview widget displays the current states of host triggers as a table of colored blocks. It provides a quick visual snapshot of trigger health and activity on different hosts.

Action log

The Action log widget displays details of operations (notifications, remote commands) executed within an action. The detailed log helps with auditing, troubleshooting, and monitoring each action's execution.

SLA report

The SLA report widget displays SLA reports, helping you monitor service performance against defined targets.

Web monitoring

The Web monitoring widget displays the status of active web scenarios.

Discovery status

The Discovery status widget displays the status of devices discovered by enabled network discovery rules. It helps you monitor whether network discovery is working correctly and the number of devices that are up or down.

Dashboard utilities and system information

These widgets provide supplementary information and tools to enhance your dashboards.

System information

The System information widget displays a summary of key Zabbix server and system data or details of high availability nodes.

Clock

The Clock widget displays local, server, or host time in analog or digital format.

URL

The URL widget displays the content retrieved from a URL.
