Hello,
I have been using Zabbix about 3 years now, and a suggestion just came to my attention.
When viewing items of a host in the GUI it shows the {Template Name}: Item regardless of whether or not the template was directly applied, or applied via linked template. In the instances of Template linking to templates:
First Idea: I think it would be handy to show the full path of a template in the items screen for greater clarity.
Second Idea: Under the hosts template screen, show the templates applied under a Linked template using tabs.
In the example of a Linux Server Template has Power Monitoring as Linked Template, the Linux Server Template is applied to the host.
Example for First Idea:
Default Behavior is for Zabbix to show in a hosts items list is:
Power Monitoring: {Item}
It would be nice to see:
Linux Server:Power Monitoring:{Item}
Example for Second Idea:
Default behavior of Zabbix to show in the Linked Templates list of a host:
Linux Server Template
It would be nice to see:
Linux Server Template
- Power Monitoring
I don't believe there is a way to change these displays in configuration, and I quickly browsed this suggestion forum for a similar suggestion but didn't find anything similar.
If there is an easy way, I'm eager to listen.
Thanks
