BACKGROUND: (probably irrelevant) I'm working with two agents (one Linux, one Windows) on systems that are behind firewalls so the server cannot initiate *any* contact - only the agents can initiate contact. I have configured the Linux agent to generate a trivial report by spawning a shell instance that echoes a random number (using bash) and I have configured the Windows agent to do approximately the same thing using VBscript. As these agents are entirely responsible for pushing all info back to the server I created two new Templates (LinuxPush and WindowsPush) that are clones of the respective Templates that come standard with Zabbix, except that all Items are marked Active. Then I added one new Item to each Template to receive the random numbers now being offered by the clients and left those new Items marked as "Other" ie. I did not assign the new Items to any Application. Each of the new Templates was moved to its own new group created for the occasion.
BUG: In general, that all seems to be working at a basic level - log files indicate that server and clients are happy and the server will display graphs (or lists) of the random numbers thus:
Monitoring->LatestData->(clientName)->other->Graph
...however, I notice that when I open the screen at Monitoring->LatestData I see the "other" entries for the two clients in the default collapsed state, but if I click the '+' sign to expand just one of the ' - other' entries then both are expanded simultaneously. I'd say that's a bug, though not a showstopper.
See before/after images below where the " - other" entries for zabbix-client1 and zabbix-client2 are both expanded after a single click on just one of their '+' signs.
