Zabbix 7 Dashboard how to display a tag value for server

[Andrew_PT]

Hi
Have a Top Hosts list for all our server that updates some Graphs and Item Value widgets.
Now we have our patching groups recorded in a Tag against the hosts.
How can I show the patching Tag value on the Dashboard on Zabbix 7.0.12 please?
happy to see it in the Topp Hosts or a Item Value widget.
Thank you and have a good day

All these widgets display item values, not tag values... Tags are added to events... https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...config/tagging

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I am very new to Zabbix but have a very wide understanding of IT.
I understand tag are added to events, but I am not trying to deal with events in this dashboard, just reporting details about a server.
Is there a way to get the Tag information to display?
In a Host navigator I can group by Tag, but I am trying to provide details (we have patch groups, related application, and other information in the Tag's).
If this is not possible that is fine I make it a feature request if it is not already.
Have a good day

There is no widget that can do it. There is not even a widget that would display inventory fields like that (if you would save those values to inventory fields instead).
Tags are not meant for such thing.. They can be added to events on so many different levels (hosts, items, templates, triggers... )
You could do some grouping based on inventory in "Inventory" tab, but there is still no way to just visualize host information like you want, not from tags, not from inventory...

Thank you for this information.
Also sorry for the delay in response.
This closing this have a good day

Kinda late for this, but you mentioned you're using Top Hosts widgets. If you somehow manage to keep all your tags in inventory fields you could use it in your widget. For example:
Add a column with Data = Text and use it to display those inventory fields, like {INVENTORY.TAG}, {INVENTORY.ASSET.TAG}



If you can manage your inventory fields, maybe this would work for your scenario.

Here's a list of inventory fields built-in macros:

That is great, thank you.
just an FYI the tag has to be Upper case to work here and I had all but one as lower case.
Have a good day
