Feature Request: Aggregate Nested Host Groups on dashboard

[erisan500]

Guys,

This is a feature request.

it would be nice if the visualization of the nested host groups on the dashboard could be 1) limited to the n-th level and 2) aggregate the counts to the levels specified.

Now when you create lots of nested host groups, the dashboard could become very long and defeats the purpose of an overview.

We use for example the following setup:

Customers
Customers/Customer1
Customers/Customer1/Network
Customers/Customer1/Servers
Customers/Customer2
Customers/Customer2/Network
Customers/Customer2/Servers
Internal
Internal/PlantA
Internal/PlantA/Network
Internal/PlantA/Servers
Internal/PlantA/Power
Internal/PlantA/Environment
Internal/PlantB
Internal/PlantB/Network
Internal/PlantB/Servers
Internal/PlantB/Power
Internal/PlantB/Environment
etc...

So limiting the host groups to the 2nd level, the dashboard should show only host groups that are 2 levels deep with their aggregated host/problem count which makes the dashboard more usable:

Customers/Customer1
Customers/Customer2
Internal/PlantA
Internal/PlantB

Anyone else have a better idea?

Yes

Yes, please. Right now it is a cluster f... of host groups especially with multiple ESXi Hosts and Autodiscovery.

As a relative newbie to Zabbix I might be missing something, but right now it is very annoying that I cannot group multiple hostgroups into one bigger hostgroup. Why ?

I am so annoyed that I started thinking about setting up a second Zabbix Server for just for the ESXi Environment plainly because it is so unorganized.

There must be a better way. There is a better way, right? Right?

Totally agree

I support this request. The dashboard is "useless" sometimes, because of a lot of record showing without an organization.
It should be more flexible to show the info.

It will be great if the dashboard support drill in for subgroup, for example when you click on Country, it will take you to the States level, and when you click on one of the state it will take you to all the cities under that State.
