Many people in the US are looking to move away from Solarwinds to other tools like Zabbix. Solarwinds suite of tools has been a staple for network administrators for years. They have "top usage" charts and graphs that seem to be difficult to reproduce in Zabbix. (for me anyway!)
For example, they have a chart that shows "top switch ports by percent utilization":
This is across ALL switches and ports! The problem I see is that "Top Hosts" or "Top Items" in zabbix ends up creating something like this:
Since the items names to not match, it will not create a single list that I can sort in reverse order.
Is there a way to hack one of these widgets? One thing I thought of was to use a powershell script that calls the API to pull data from zabbix, and then pull it back into zabbix as CSV or JSON.
Am I missing something? Is there an easier solution?
Thank you.
