Monitoring display on big screens for the boss(?)

[xcalibur]

Hey guys,

My boss wants to install a few big LCDs around the company so everyone would be able to see the status of the servers. Is it possible to pull this off using Zabbix? I mean I know it can draw graphs from items but is it possible to arrange them all in a neat readable way so even an ape could understand?

Thanks,

X

What about Screens or Slide shows.
Beside of that one can always get everything queried via the API and build individual applications based on that.

Thanks for the reply.

Those "Screens" seem nice.
One question though. Suppose I'd like to monitor "casual" server stuff i.e RAM, HDD space, CPU load etc, can I fit it all into one screen with nice and bright enough to read text? Those titles in the examples you gave me look a bit pale...

If you're talking about the ability to arrage the raw values there is a feature request for that:
ZBXNEXT-418

But again, you can do almost everything by getting the desired data via the API and manage or display them in the desired way.
For example in PHP by gathering the data (see: PhpZabbixApi) and drawing tables based on the returning values in the way it fits to your needs.
