[6.0] Per-graph filtering removed in Monitoring?

[kot_vaska]

Hi, I just upgraded from 5.0 to 6.0 and noticed you can't filter graphs in Monitoring -> Hosts -> Host -> Graphs.
It only offers to filter graphs by "simple graphs", "all" and "host graphs", but you can't choose to show only certain graphs.

If the host has hundreds of graphs it loads slow and it's hard to find the required graph in one big list or graphs.

How are you supposed to choose which graphs to display now?

I am having the same problem and came to the forum looking for that information.
Filtering is completely missing and you cannot start to type part of the graph name to find a match and show it. My favorite graphs are also missing.
I had web links in my maps too which had filters similar to this :
zabbix.php?action=charts.view&filter_set=1&filter_ graphids[]=1974
This was working great before for navigating from a map to a specific graph, now it shows : Specify host to see the graphs.

Yesterday, at Zabbix webinar (What's new in 6.0) they declared it as a success and clean UI/UX achievement.. ArtursL what do you think of this?

I am surprised that not that many people notice this or care.
The problems are far too many. Sadly I don't think it will be easy to downgrade. Also I have to admit that the new Geomap functionality is great.
If you go from Monitoring -> Hosts to Graphs you have a number there, showing how many Graphs this Host have. For example 3. But clicking it you are overwhelmed by let's say 50 graphs, because all Simple Grahps are auto shown, not like before where the Graphs shown in this tab were only Custom Graphs, which are indeed Graphs, not only an Item which can show History. The number is not consistent - 3 in menu and 50 when you click. You can filter to show only Host Graphs, but this is not persistently saved and most times when navigating somewhere else and return you get all of them again.
Sometimes a graph can have as many as 10 item sources. I want to see only the created graphs. Combined the data means something, by itself only in some occasions. And for those we have Simple Graphs, which can be still shown from Latest Data .. where they still are and should be.
I have not found any way, even though I am bashing my head for a second day, to find an url path that will consistently show me what I want, so I can save, let's say in Map and reuse. This way at least I will be able to filter graphs somewhat easily. The only thing working that you can pass options to is chart2.php, but it generates a static image, not a page. Actually this one is great, but situational. It will be great if it can be called for some hover or popup graphs in Maps, if you click on links etc.
I will continue to try. I hope someone will be able to find more than me and share here. Also hoping for a very quick 6.0.1 with some fixes/additions.

This sounds bad :

https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-20623

The ticket about this issue is closed, because the assignee says that the user did not properly filter the graph even though it is just 1 graph. But even if you filter by the only option given - tag, the button still does not appear.

I don't understand that this ticket was closed. The favorite icon disappears when I filter to one graph.

[CyberTod]

The ticket is reopened and it's status is changed to Confirmed.

Good afternoon! This is different and does not solve the problem with the inability to select only the desired charts

I am quite despointed by the 6.0 version and now I miss my 4.4 version. Exploring a host graphs is now a pain in the ass, why is now so complicated?

I agree that they failed to communicate clearly the consequences of not using tags in templates (for example because of not updating the templates).

Here is my post on the topic (including describing the fixing process): https://majornetwork.net/2022/05/gra...ix-5-0-to-6-0/
