Dashboard widget that shows history for devices with current problem

[skotty]

We're running Zabbix 6.4 and are really happy with it. It works beatifully for us as MSP .
We have all the errors presented on a screen in our office but there is one thing missing, we think :P.

On the dashboard on the big screen we would like to list the last 3 problems or the last 5 problems for each of the devices with a current problem.
That way we can hopefully see problem patterns sooner.

If there isn't such a solution, is there anyone out there who would be interested in building one? We're more than happy to contribute to such endevor.

Not knowing how big the screen is and how many host you want to display / expect to display problems.
Why not setup a problems widget for each host and use the recent problems feature. This way it always displays the recent problems (not limited to a certain problem type, but you can limit it)

Well to setup a widget for each device would demand a preeeeetty big screen :P. We're talking ~600 devices. We only have 40 at the moment but we're adding alot of devices now and all of our customers devices are going in to this software.

Personally I would not set it up like 1 big screen with a lot of 'specific' data. Which you probably can only read from a certain distance. Tiles per customer to indicate that 1 or more devices are in problem state would be a better approach or even less specified on regions etc..
When a 'region' goes from an all OK state to problem state that info block changes color and a technician will login with his/her workstation to zabbix to investigate. No matter how big your screen is, it will always need to be bigger to display everything

You will never be able to observe 600 devices and a list of issues for each at once.. Grouping, building maps and visualizing that way probably gives you better overview. Host on a map allows you to move to its recent problems list/latest data etc...
