Hi !
I am facing this challenge with Zabbix :
We are starting monitoring Moodle applications, checking around 60/80 zabbix trappers on each. Moodle is a LMS (Learning Management System) and we developped an integration plugin that let us measure those indicators through zabbix trappers. It works like a charm. Now we are using the host group agregate functions to get consolidated indicators on administrative zones. which also run quite well.
We have, say, from 170 (up to 350) instances to monitor on some "correct conditions running status" which have a quite simple output : correct/failure, some other may have three states or some more (a set of states).
Our need would be to get a graph style that shows a compact grid of state "lights" giving a visual overview of how many (and where) status are not good. This approaches the "network map" feature of zabbix, but this feature is very oriented to hardware monitoring, not for "applicative logical states".
the result would be a widget giving a grid of coloured squares, each gettign the value of an host group member. The monitoring concept is alike when viewing the sector map of an hard drive during analysis. Each sector provides its sanity status in a little square. Here each host in an hostgroup would show its colored states in a square, with a link to dig into the single host context...
I'am just posting here to get reactions on the subject :
- would be this feature accessible to develop, pursuant the open-source status of zabbix ? would this be just in the scope of a zabbix php frontend development ? to people who have zabbix strong experience. Do this kind of integration seems faisible ?
