From a few days ago, we have already available to download the awaited new version of Zabbix, the 3.4. You can check
here in detail all the new features. In this post, we'll try to focus on what it was, maybe, one of the most awaited features, the possibility to design customized dashboards in a more flexible manner than in previous versions.
In fact, until now, if you wanted to build more complex dashboards, you necessarily have to design Zabbix "screens" with the elements you needed and there were some useful elements you could not use like "Problems". We understand in fact that the use of Zabbix "Screens" will be more focused as templates to monitor, for instance, several data from a type of server and "Dashboards" will be more oriented to general vision and operation, plus the interactivity, almost like a higher hierarchical level to the "Screens". We'll see how these two features evolve in next releases.
In the first place, we found that we have more possibilities to manage dashboard space (until now we only had 3 columns). Trough a
drag&drop system, we can organize different
widgets as we want, being able to modify the size of any of these to our needs:
