Host Proxy Setting Display Change

[suran]

It would be a visual improvement if the 'Proxy' setting was moved to its own column in the hosts section, rather than being prepended to the 'Name' field.

So, instead of

|Name|Applications|Items|Triggers|Graphs|Etc|
|proxy1:test|x|x|x|x|x|

|Name|Proxy|Applications|Items|Triggers|Graphs|Etc |
|test|proxy1|x|x|x|x|x|

Does that make sense?

that would increase table width considerably and would add a useless column for people who do not use proxies. what's the problem this change would solve ?

[suran]

It seems like it would be relatively trivial to only display the column if there are any proxies, or to make it optional. The current display method is ugly, and makes it impossible to scan down a list of server names if you have multiple proxies. If the names column is to be left aligned, then a variable like 'what proxy does this system use' should not be prepended to the information.

Every person who has used the system has commented that proxies make it harder to read the table. This fixes a significant usability problem.

hmm. maybe add that as a feature suggestion in zbxnext project then
