Customizing Screens

[dantheman]

Hi Alexei,

One suggestion I'd like to see added to a future release, in addition to rotating screens, I'd like the ability to control which triggers and/or data is displayed when I choose the Triggers Overview or Data Overview..

How I picture this implemented, once you choose which host group you want to monitor, it could list all the associated triggers and/or data which a checkbox next to each, and you check which ones you would like included (and therefore obviously uncheck the ones you don't want include).

And maybe even creating a new view, sorta a hybrid of data and triggers, combined into one table with the same option to choose which triggers/data you would like included.

I think this would be helpful because sometimes I need to create triggers so that I can setup an email alert, but I don't particularly care to see that trigger on my screens.. this way I can pick and choose which I want and that would also give everyone more room on each screen to see more of the information that is important to them.

Thanks for the awesome program!
Dan

Is this something that could be added to the TODO list? I think it would be very beneficial. It would give me a cleaner screen, and show me just the information I'm interested in. The same thing could be applied to data overviews in screens too.

Thanks Alexei!

It is already in TODO, however I'm still not sure how this can be implemented in the best way. No ETA yet

still no ETA for this feature? My boss asked me to create a overview page where he only sees triggers and data he's interested in and I haven't found a easy way to do this yet...

Maybe just filter on Group?
That would be sufficient enough for me.

The problem with a group filter is that groups are for hosts, but sometimes different people should see different things on the same host. Maybe Mr. Security would like to see if /etc/passwd has changed, but the database administrator needs to know the number of slow queries on that host. See what I mean?

Ah, yes. I understand.

We don't have a situation like that (yet).
We have one person that is scheduled for monitoring during day time hours and he/she just watches the triggers screen (and off course other work when there's nothing going on or one would be driven mad). If anything comes up, he/she signals the guy/girl that needs to fix the problem.

During nightly hours we send sms and email to a user group depending on the trigger.

However, I do see your need and I agree it would be a useful addition to Zabbix if implemented.
For now we would just be happy with the group option though
