Currently Zabbix units description is split into 2 sections.
Configuration -> Items -> Creating an item
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.2/en/manual/config/items/item
This page has the description of the Units field of the form:
and a section that describes Unit conversion, where it also explains the usage of exclamation mark (!). But there is even no link to the appendix page mentioned below.
Appendixes -> Unit symbols
This page has again, description of the units:
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/appendix/suffixes
Result
I googled "Zabbix units" and got to the page in appendix. It has very good description of how units work but there is no information about the exclamation mark (!) usage. I thought we miss this information but after bit more search I got to the Creating an item page where I found the corresponding section. If a user would get on the appendix page there is no way to get that information from there. I did find it only because I knew this feature exists.
Expected
I'd expect having everything in a single place and get rid of data duplication. For example:
- complete list of supported units
- examples
- explanation of the exclamation mark
- examples
- mentioned in
