The host-centric table representation for data.

Open AlKosmos opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello, It is a fantastic job, thank you so much for that solution! We've waited something like this for years. It is so comfortable way to navigate through groups, compare them to each other and find the places, which in our case are related to groups. Instead of searching them in usual Monitoring-Host interface and reading through huge list of hosts or Groups.

If it possible, it would be good to have some development around this solution. Zabbix is missing the table presentation for hosts and has the two ways for showing data for hosts:

  • Latest Data
  • Dashboards + Plain Text

In both cases it is hard to see and read any information about the host. For instance, we have the WiFi AP with 30 SU (subscriber units - clients). In Zabbix we can see them in the "Latest Data", it needs to be expanded one item by one and this way works only for Zabbix < 5.2. In 5.4 the "Latest Data" functionality is broken. Dashboard does not support any tables.

So, there isn't any way to see all of items and information about them in one source like a table.

It would be good to have any way of see the table (tables) for the host.

For example, in case of WiFi AP and SUs this could be a table with fields: Client(SU name) - Mgmt IP - MAC - Product - Firmware - Distance - RX power - TX Power

In case of file systems: Name - Total - Used - Free - Percentage

In case of interfaces: Name - IP Address - MAC - Status - Bits Sent - Bits received

I will attach some pictures for illustrating this, how it is represented in Zenoss for better understanding.

So WiFi APs, WiFi SUs, systems and interfaces are all seen as 'hosts' in your Zabbix?

We do not have SUs in our Zabbix, only APs. You could see on the Zenoss screenshots. We can navigate to the device through the tree, click on this device and choose the "Ubiquiti Subscriber Stations" on the left side. On the right side you can see the table for SUs with all parameters. I understand, there is not a way like this in Zabbix, but probably it is possible to show the table like this somehow.
