possible with Zabbix-Maps? Display a number (item result) on map

[AMA]

Hi,

does Zabbix maps provides the feature to display a dynamically updated number on a map?

There are some items (resulting in some import figures) which I would like to be displayed on the maps next to some servers.

Is there a way to do this with Zabbix?

Thanks

Just add your ref to a item in the "label" area when edit the map object, like this:
{{HOSTNAME}:vfs.fs.size[/,free].last(0)}

Erik,

thanks!

Do you know if I can change the font type and the font size (e.g. font size 72) of the items?

My goal:
Next to device/network maps to create some kind of "Dashboard" with some key figures which is readable from a long distannce.

How?

1. By creating a bitmap with some text lines like
"Number of monitored hosts: xy"
"Events today: xy"
"Events this week: xy"
"Events this month: xy"
(assuming that I can not use a scalable HTML site as background for Zabbix)

2. The "xy" will be replaced by item vialues (same font and size like the text)

3. And this becomes one tab in a browser with automatic page reload, next to the other maps

4. Placed on a large flat screen


Result:
Overview at a glance from a far distance view, even if someobody just walks by.

So do think this works with Zabbix?

That will need some API foo!

...or use zabcon in a script.

I do not think you can change the font size in maps.
I found this, but it is on graphs: http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23311

But maybe you can do like qix say – get the items values from an api/zabcon/sql script and post them on an http page - remember you can still show it in an zabbix “URL” type screen or part of a screen.

I would like to ask another question in this regard. Is it possible to show the date and time from the last value of an item this way?
