 Description   

Description

In "Latest data" some values are missing. The GUI shows only 8 or 9 values when there are more.

In GUI option, value is "500" so it should work.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to latest data
  2. Filter in "Name" with a value like "version" (more than 10 values)
  3. Click on "apply"

Result:

Some items are missing :

  • If no hosts are specified, only 9 are visible.
  • If hosts are specified, for 10 hosts there's only 8 items.
  • If hosts are specified, for 11 hosts there's only 7 items.
  • If more than 10 hosts are specified, we're unable to get more than 9 items.

Result:

Before Zabbix 5.0.0 all items were visible.

With a value "2000" in "Limit for search and filter results" that's ok.

It seems that Zabbix counts every item even if there's a filter (and others are hidden).

Before Zabbix 5.0 that problem didn't exist. Is there there any modification on Zabbix 5.0 to explain this problem ?

Resolved in development branch feature/ZBX-17715-5.0.

Comment by Andrejs Verza [ 2020 Jun 18 ]

Additional changes were introduced within this branch:

  1. Possibility to show/hide applications in the list was removed as redundant after the pager was introduced on the Latest Data view.
  2. Sorting data by the Last check was also removed because of poor usability.

s/usability/performance/ ?

Comment by Andrejs Verza [ 2020 Jun 18 ]

To answer dimir's question: The sorting by the Last check was removed because of poor usability, not performance.

Since data sorting by the Last check means that the rows are changing often, this created two usability issues:

  • Data grouping by hosts/applications became misleading.
  • Paging functionality became unusable because of constantly changing data rows.
Comment by dimir [ 2020 Jun 26 ]

Thanks a lot for explanation! I see the point now. Hopefully the ones that were disappointed by this feature been removed will understand why.

Hi @Andrejs Verza
Can you please explain me this change?
> Possibility to show/hide applications in the list was removed as redundant after the pager was introduced on the Latest Data view.
I miss that feature a lot since 5.0.2 and don't understand the alternative you mention.
I could filter the application group I need to see, but the previous behavior was easier IMHO.

Comment by dimir [ 2020 Jul 21 ]

Good news, grouping by application is coming back in ZBX-18092.

Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2020 Jul 21 ]

Question to my understanding: Under what circumstances did the error actually occur? Only if Latest Data would be rendered on more than ONE page, right? (because paging)

So on 5.0.0, if my GUI option limited me to like 200 results, and my Hosts always have <200 Items, I would've never encountered this bug? (Except I filter Latest data for two or more hosts, but lets ignore that for the question.) Is that true?

If yes, could you please explain me which of the two GUI options affect the paging of Latest Data:


"Limit for search and filter results""Max count of elements to show inside table cell"
 
And last but not least, I will post my opinion regarding ZBX-18092 as soon as I understand the context. Thanks for clarifying!

Comment by Martins Valkovskis [ 2020 Jul 21 ]

The paging is actually affected by the user settings, which is a separate menu option just before the sign-out button.

Comment by Andrejs Verza [ 2020 Jul 21 ]

The problem appeared sometimes if there were more items to be listed than the search limit set by user in user settings. The root cause of the problem was that some filter settings were applied to the already limited (by the search limit) set of items.

Comment by Mikhail Grigorev [ 2020 Aug 25 ]

Hi, in latest data page not correct reset filter and not clean latest data

My issue ZBX-17863 is closed, as duplicate of ZBX-17715, but not fixed

See video in latest 5.0.3 release

cherts I think you should create a new ZBX issue, and state there "Caused by ZBX-18092"
