    EXCLUDE some string in the "Problem" box.

    I find myself with many many pages of problems listed even if i only select "High" severity.

    It is mostly alot of garbadge I don't care about caused by group trigger settings that need adjusted to eliminate many checks and change the severity and threshholds.
    I don't understand why there isn't a simple way to exclude problems by string so I could type something like -"Critical CPU" -"NTP" -"Disk Space" to eliminate any problems containing those strings so that I can more easliy see the issues I care about while waiting for the triggers to be adjusted as-needed.

    It's also really too bad the OS triggers for Linux and Windows don't allow you to configure them pick list styple to enable/disable checks and modify the threshholds.

    I don't want to be a coder to make adjustments in Zabbix. Everything is so manual and un-intuitive. Why can't it work intuitively and be fully configurable without messing with xml/java/perl/python or some other esoteric script that I barely know how to use because I only need it one in a long while for products like this.

    Nobody else has the problem where they'd like to exclude problems or strings using boolean or something so they can see what they want instead of all of the noise from ignored unimportant alerts ?

      It's a small step in the right direction. Tags I see more for types of machines or machine attributes but not for Zabbix alert descriptions or partial hostname searches.

      I don't understand why the coding team can't also make it so that using an "!" in front of any search term acts as NOT (exclude) for that term..

      Any plaintext search field should behave this way as exclusion is a powerful way to narrow it down to what you want to see.
      Such as CPU !Memory Utilization to list CPU utilization problems and exclude Memory utilization problems.

        Add tags, they allow negating of searches. Requires latest version...:/
        Implemented support of negative filtering for tags
