      More than three years have passed since the Zabbix menu redesign (ZBXNEXT-7830), and it might be time to evaluate the results.

      I'd like to start with a question already raised: the choice of the name "Data Collection" for the Configuration section. Was it a good choice? Of course, every choice is a compromise, but was this one a good compromise?

      In my experience, new or occasional users find this name confusing and difficult to interpret. Even if you get used to it over time and memorize this quirk, navigating the menu remains very counterintuitive. There are other reasons why this choice should be reconsidered, and I'll try to list them in the comments below.
