I finally got around to upgrading Zabbix 2.4 to 6.4. Although I'm very happy with most of the UI changes, one change seems to be a huge step backwards.
We have hundreds of triggers that use the Multiple Problem Event Generation Mode with OK event generation.
The Zabbix 2.4 Dashboard showed the last 20 outstanding problems. When you hovered over an outstanding problem, it listed the event history for that problem. It was very easy to see the current and historical status for every reported event. The list was consolidated and clean.
In addition, the System Status widget showed the total number of outstanding problems. 1 problem can have 50+ triggered events, so the number was representative of the actual number of outstanding problems.
The Zabbix 6.4 Dashboard now displays a list of outstanding problem triggered events. Every time the event is triggered, the problem is listed again and again. These events clutter the screen with hundreds of individual events rather that a group of consolidated events like in 2.4.
Certain event log triggered events result in hundreds of repeated trigger events. These events are triggered every minute by the source application. Our agent queries this log every 12 hours so we get a pile of events and then set the trigger to when we received more than 50 in a 12 hour period.
The problem counts now count the number of times the event occurs rather than the number of outstanding problems. (Screenshot in next post)
Is there a way to configure the dashboard to work more like the Zabbix 2.4 Last 20 Issues? We really miss it.
