Zabbix Announcement Banner?

[vrtareg]

Hi

I am looking to the possibility to put some kind Announcement Banner to the Zabbix frontend.

I would like to put some links to the our own created documentation so people who are administrating Zabbix will be able to access to the useful tips instantly rather than searching for it or trying to find out who configured the system and who is the point of contact.

There are plenty of space next to the Zabbix logo - top left corner.

Regards,
Areg

If you have enough qualification in PHP-programming, you can easily modify

/usr/share/zabbix/include/page_header.php

But! Just remember, that it's only your responsibility to protect your modification from the update(s).

I just stumbled on the need to do this now, and I realise there is no predefined way to do so... As "aib" suggested, I have some PHP know-how and I was able to make a permanent banner correctly..

For others looking for the same solution, in order to achieve this:


you should:

edit the file: `include/classes/html/widget/CWidget.php`

and at the end of the file, before the line which returns the function "createTopHeader()" you should add the following:

$msg = [
'type' => 'error',
'message' => _('You should only use this server for consultation purposes, the new production server is at https://example.com'),
'source' => ''
];

echo makeMessageBox(ZBX_STYLE_MSG_BAD, [$msg], "This server has been migrated!!", false, true, false)->addClass(ZBX_STYLE_MSG_BAD);
// class options are ZBX_STYLE_MSG_BAD, ZBX_STYLE_MSG_GOOD, ZBX_STYLE_MSG_WARNING
// respectively are message red, green, yellow 

The next line here should be the return.

Notice the class options, which are the 3 colours possible.

I just added a feature request: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-8109

Anyone know how to do this now? The file `include/classes/html/widget/CWidget.php' no longer exists at least as of 6.4.15

Maybe this is now in /include/classes/html/CHtmlPage.php ?? I don't know the zabbix PHP well at all, only looked at it now for about 5 minutes.
