Map Shorcuts

[elfrancesco]

Hello all,

I am currently making maps for my organization with differents level of view.

What I want is to add some icon on my maps to be able to "jump" to different maps or to be able to move between maps in any direction.

The problem is that when i try to add maps to an already linked map (via a parent map), zabbix refuse the operation telling "circular link cannot be created".

My workaround for now is tu use simple icons on my my maps and add an URL shortcut but it doesn't seam to be a very clean solution.

Thanks by advance of any help
Cheers,

well, sure. you can make a nested tree-like structure - but what would you do if a map included another map that included the first map ? how would you calculate the amount of problems to display, for example ?

Maybe there would be another way instead of adding a new map, there could be some sort of shortcut object which would act as a map without any trigger propagation...
Anyways i was just wondering if there had a better way than using simple icon + url

Thanks

it sounds pretty reasonable to me (if you don't need the map statistics).

other possible solutions - a screen with one map acting as a menu and other maps changing while that one always stays on screen (seen at some zabbix installation - liked the approach ) or just using the "upper level maps" links.

We created an upper level - lower level structure in our maps in the following way.

In the "upper-level" map we use a Map item to the "lower-level". This way you will see if there is something wrong in the lower-level and you have the option to click to go to that map.

In the "lower-level" map we use an Image type with a description that makes sense. In the fields URL you put het query to the "upper-level" map



this value of sysmapid you can find when you view a map. In our case the URL looks like;

http://x.x.x.x/maps.php?sid=74939ead3bf924f0&fullscreen=0&sysmapid=54

the only thing you need is the sysmapid.
