Zabbix 7 tags compare to Zabbix 5 tags

[aciducen1995]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding tags. I have 2 Zabbix servers with different versions which are v5 & v7. Version 7 is newly deployed and it will be replacing the older version in the near future. The tags are quite annoying and messy in v7. Below are the 2 screenshots for both versions

Zabbix Version 5. The tags show when the host has tags added

Zabbix Version 7 has many tags by default which is quite annoying and messy

Is there a way to bulk disable them or at least make the hosts' tags at the front? Appreciate the help

When there's an event, it will inherits all the tags associated with the template, host, item and trigger.
I'm not a fan of the default Zabbix tags, so I always change them at the template level.

You could try to "mass edit" the tags to something more meaningful to you.

I have worked with v5 as well in a self thought manor (so I'm not saying I was good at it ) When 6 was release I was like wtf is this with all these tags.
As my knowledge grew and followed training ZCS 6 and later on ZCS & ZCP 7 I love the tags. They can be really powerful if you understand the reason behind it and how you can make the best use of it.
So my advise is first understand why Zabbix is switched over to tags and see how you can benefit from it.

thanks for the heads-up. but I think useful is quite subjective in this scenario. In my case I need the operator to quickly know what the system is since we have 1k+ hosts.

I use them for Services (SLA), API update/ create calls.
Filtering: latest data / hosts / templates.
Even use them in calculated items from multiple hosts to 1 item.
Actually also use a tag named customer (could be any name) which contains an ID of an external system where a media template is alerting to. So the use cases are many. And as tags are inherited all the way to problems this is very useful to set on host level.

all those "component" and "scope" etc tags ... ugh.. just confusing... Whenever I need OOB templates, I try to get rid of those.. They have no meaning in our env and I better remove them or replace with something I need..
