Zabbix on large screens (Monitoring panels, TV's, etc)

[viniciusferrao]

Hello guys,

I would like to know if someone uses Zabbix on a Television or a Monitoring Monitor, to use it as a monitoring screen.

We've got two 55" 1080p screens and we would like to have a cool dashboard to see whats happening on our servers, but we're not sure how to do this, the default dashboard is OK, but not very interesting.

If someone uses Zabbix this way, I really would like to see how you guys use it. A photo or ideas of how to use it would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Vinicius.

We use!

Hello!

We use a big screen too. A 50" screen.

Actually we open 4 browser windows, a big one, on the left, with a slideshow of the offices distributed over the country.

The 3 other windows with a graph of local office critical points, like access to network storage, intranet web page and access to internet.

All off this is what we intended that are important to the customer to know, because the analysts really use the Dashboard, with real time info.

But, i'm not so happy with this design... So, i'm already creating a Grafana (http://zabbixbrasil.org/?p=1674) Dashboard to fit these needs. Grafana it's much prettier than Zabbix standards.

My actual screen: http://s4.postimg.org/6a0arp525/mapa.png
My test new screen: http://s8.postimg.org/sfwjkl4dx/grafana.png

Hello Paulo, thank you so much for your screens. I was aware of Grafana. But I don't know if I want to go this route. Have you looked at the Zabbix 3.0 screenshots? They appears to be amusing.

Going with the Grafana route, I will probably take a look at Kibana and Zabbix integration, but I'm not sure.

What you're doing is almost what I want to do, perhaps without a map of (our) country because it takes to much space on the screen, but you got the idea.

Once again, thank you for your screens. If someone have something additional please post it here.

Cheers,
Vinicius.

I'll test too!

Thanks for the advices!

I'll test Kibana and Zabbix 3.0. Actually i can't go with it to production environment, but a little VM doesn't make any bad...

Hello,

You can create some graph/screen on Zabbix with the info that you want.
